For non-SaaS QuickBooks integration with QuickBooks Online, you want to use qbXML.
To do this, you first need to register with Intuit. It's easiest to register in DESKTOP mode. There are instructions to do this on our QuickBooks PHP wiki. Register as a PRODUCTION application (you can only use DEV/PTC if you get a special account from Intuit, which you won't be able to get).
Once you've registered, you'll have a connection ticket, an app id, and a app login.
Then, you can grab our open source PHP QuickBooks DevKit (use a recent nightly build) and open this example:
docs/example_online_edition.php
From there, you plug in your app id, app login, and connection ticket, and you'll be able to send XML formatted requests to QuickBooks.
You'll want to use Intuits QuickBooks OSR for XML reference. Make sure to check "OE", uncheck "US", change the qbXML version to 6.0 (QuickBooks Online only supports 6.0), use the "Select Message" drop-down to choose the request type, and the "XML Ops" tab to see the available XML fields.
Your resulting code will look something like:
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/../QuickBooks.php';
// Register in DESKTOP mode to get these. Docs:
// http://www.consolibyte.com/docs/index.php/QuickBooks_Online_via_qbXML#Connecting_with_the_.27Desktop.27_model_of_communication
$application_id = '134476443';
$application_login = 'qboe.www.consolibyte.com';
$connection_ticket = 'TGT-68-1sRm2nXMVfm$n8hb2MZfVQ';
// Create our new gateway instance
$Gateway = new QuickBooks_Gateway_OnlineEdition(
$application_id,
$application_login,
$connection_ticket);
$xml = '<QBXMLMsgsRq onError="stopOnError">
<VendorAddRq>
<VendorAdd>
<Name>ConsoliBYTE</Name>
<FirstName>Keith</FirstName>
<LastName>Palmer</LastName>
<VendorAddress>
<Addr1>123 Test Road</Addr1>

<State>MI</State>
<PostalCode>48858</PostalCode>
</VendorAddress>
<Email>support#consolibyte.com</Email>
</VendorAdd>
</VendorAddRq>
</QBXMLMsgsRq>';
// Send the request
$resp = $Gateway->qbxml($xml);
print($resp);
