To use the library, you need to:

  • Include library in your program
include_once('aits_terms.php');
  • or use composer composer require dpazuic\aits_terms
include_once('vendor/autoload.php');
  • Instantiate an object of class dpazuic\aits_term
$period = 'current'; // Also accepted: 22017X|current|nextterm|lastterm|nextsemester|lastsemester|nextyear|lastyear 
$campusCode = 'uic'; // Also accepted: uic|uiuc|uis|100|200|400
$senderAppID = 'YOUR_SENDER_APP_ID'; // Contact AITS for this
$termAPI = new dpazuic\aits_terms($period, $campusCode, $senderAppID);
  • Use one of the public methods on the object
