README

The Plivo PHP SDK makes it simpler to integrate communications into your PHP applications using the Plivo REST API. Using the SDK, you will be able to make voice calls, send SMS and generate Plivo XML to control your call flows.

Supported PHP Versions: This SDK works with PHP 7.1.0+.

Note

    Compoer will only take branches starting with 'dev-'. It will not take any other branches. Also branches should not have any other charachers like '.'. While 'dev-infince-plivo' is accepted, 'dev-infince-plivo-4.21' will not be. Composer will throw an error saying it cannot checkout to this branch.

To Install using Infince Fork, put the following in composer.json

     "repositories": [
            //...
            {
                    "type": "package",
                    "package": {
                    "name": "plivo/plivo-php",
                    "version": "dev-infince-plivo",
                    "source": {
                            "url": "https://github.com/infince/plivo-php.git",
                            "type": "git",
                            "reference": "dev-infince-plivo"
                    },
                    "autoload": {
                            "classmap": [""]
                    }
                    }
            },
            //...
     ],

Run the following:
```
 $ composer update
```

While commiting and pushing to the plivo repository

In the Infince project folder, remove plivo package in vendor.
```
  $ rm -rf vendor/plivo
```
Clear Composer cache.
```
  $ composer clear-cache
```
Run composer update again to see the changes.
```
  $ composer update
```

Installation

To install Composer

Globally in Mac

Download the latest version of Composer.

Run the following command in Terminal:

 $ php ~/Downloads/composer.phar --version

Run the following command to make it executable:

 $ cp ~/Downloads/composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
 $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
 $ Make sure you move the file to bin directory.

To check if the path has /usr/local/bin, use
```
 $ echo $PATH
```
If the path is different, use the following command to update the $PATH:
```
 $ export PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/bin
 $ source ~/.bash_profile 
```
You can also check the version of Composer by running the following command:
```
 $ composer --version.       
```

Globally in Linux

Run the following command:

 $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Run the following command to make the composer.phar file as executable:
```
 $ chmod +x composer.phar
```
Run the following command to make Composer globally available for all system users:
```
 $ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
```

Windows 10

Download and run the Windows Installer for Composer.

Note: Make sure to allow Windows Installer for Composer to make changes to your php.ini file.
If you have any terminal windows open, close all instances and open a fresh terminal instance.
Run the Composer command.
```
 $ composer -V
```

Steps to install Plivo Package

To install the stable release, run the following command in the project directory:
```
  $ composer require plivo/plivo-php
```
To install a specific release, run the following command in the project directory:
```
  $ composer require plivo/plivo-php:4.14.0
```
To test the features in the beta release, run the following command in the project directory:
```
  $ composer require plivo/plivo-php:v4.2-beta1
```
Alternatively, you can download this source and run
```
  $ composer install
```

This generates the autoload files, which you can include using the following line in your PHP source code to start using the SDK.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php'

Getting started

Authentication

To make the API requests, you need to create a RestClient and provide it with authentication credentials (which can be found at https://console.plivo.com/dashboard/).

We recommend that you store your credentials in the PLIVO_AUTH_ID and the PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN environment variables, so as to avoid the possibility of accidentally committing them to source control. If you do this, you can initialise the client with no arguments and it will automatically fetch them from the environment variables:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\RestClient;

$client = new RestClient();

Alternatively, you can specifiy the authentication credentials while initializing the RestClient.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\RestClient;

$client = new RestClient("<auth_id>", "<auth_token>");

The Basics

The SDK uses consistent interfaces to create, retrieve, update, delete and list resources. The pattern followed is as follows:

<?php
$client->resources->create($params) # Create
$client->resources->get($id) # Get
$client->resources->update($id, $params) # Update
$client->resources->delete($id) # Delete
$client->resources->list() # List all resources, max 20 at a time

You can also use the resource directly to update and delete it. For example,

<?php
$resource = $client->resources->get($id)
$resource->update($params) # update the resource
$resource->delete() # Delete the resource

Also, using $client->resources->list() would list the first 20 resources by default (which is the first page, with limit as 20, and offset as 0). To get more, you will have to use limit and offset to get the second page of resources.

Examples

Send a message

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\RestClient;

$client = new RestClient();
$message_created = $client->messages->create([ 
        "src" => "+14156667778", 
        "dst" => "+14156667777", 
        "text"  =>"Hello, this is a sample text from Plivo"
]);

Make a call

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\RestClient;

$client = new RestClient();
$call_made = $client->calls->create(
    '+14156667778',
    ['+14156667777'],
    'https://answer.url'
);

Lookup a number

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\RestClient;

$client = new RestClient("<auth_id>", "<auth_token>");
$response = $client->lookup->get("<number-goes-here>");

Generate Plivo XML

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\XML\Response;

$response = new Response();
$response->addSpeak('Hello, world!');
echo($response->toXML());

This generates the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
  <Speak>Hello, world!</Speak>
</Response>

Run a PHLO

<?php
/**
 * Example for API Request
 */
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Plivo\Resources\PHLO\PhloRestClient;
use Plivo\Exceptions\PlivoRestException;
$client = new PhloRestClient("<auth_id>", "<auth_token>");
$phlo = $client->phlo->get("<phlo_id>");
try {
    $response = $phlo->run(["field1" => "value1", "field2" => "value2"]); // These are the fields entered in the PHLO console
    print_r($response);
} catch (PlivoRestException $ex) {
    print_r($ex);
}
?>
