I have set up my paypal account to except payments however I was under the impression that you could set up an account on a monthly payment cycle
Does the payment get processed automatically or does my client have to physically submit a payment with the buy it now button every month?
If I set the veriable $account_length_days     = "30";  then the account expires in 30 days
So how do I set up an auto payment system? To auto re bill every 30 days?

You should set the account to no expiration.  You will need to create a "subscription" using your PayPal account.  Which has an item name that matches up with the paypal_config.php file.  The same way as the buy now button.

Actually, you may set it to "30" as you stated. It will append to the expiration time when a re-bill comes in.
