PHP Client Library

This code converts a web page and sends the generated PDF as an HTTP response:

<?php
require 'selectpdf.php';

try
{   
    // create a SelectPdf API client instance
    $client = new SelectPdf("Your API key here");

    /*
    // get the number of conversions available in the current month
    $conv = $client->availableConversions();
    echo("Available conversions: $conv");
    exit();
    */

    /*
    // get service usage details
    $usage = $client->usageDetails(true);
    echo("<pre>");
    var_dump($usage);
    echo("</pre>");
    exit();
    */

    // set some conversion parameters
    $client->setPageSize("A4");
    $client->setPageOrientation("Portrait");
    $client->setAllMargins(10);

    // convert a web page and store the generated PDF into a $pdf variable
    $pdf = $client->convertUrl('https://selectpdf.com/');
    //$pdf = $client->convertHtmlString('<b>Hello!</b>');

    // set HTTP response headers
    header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
    header("Cache-Control: max-age=0");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"Document.pdf\"");

    // send the generated PDF 
    echo $pdf;
}
catch(SelectPdfException $ex)
