To go live contact `Africa's Talking Ltd` on . Prerequisites ------------- [](#prerequisites) For testing download `Africa's Talking` android app from Google Playstore or use the web interface at Installation ------------ [](#installation) This project supports both composer dependency management tool and can also be used without composer - Run the following command to clone this repo ``` git clone https://github.com/Bascil/ussd-student-bursary-application.git ``` OR - Download the source code as zipped Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) 1. Import the cdf\_bursary.sql file into MySQL database. 2. Configure the database connection using dbConnector.php file ``` ``` 3. Go to "". Create an account then click on the `Go to Sandbox App` button 4. In your sandbox account under USSD > Create Channel , pick a shared service code such as `*384*` and a channel such as 1100 i.e `*384*1100#` (Be sure to take a unique channel which is not taken already) 5. Configure your callback URL (the URL that points to your application) e.g [http://www.example.com/folder\_name/ussd\_cdf.php](http://www.example.com/folder_name/ussd_cdf.php) then click `Create channel`. This assumes you are working from a live server whose domain name is example.com.Replace the domain name with your own. 6. If working from localhost you can set up a `Ngrok` server or `Localtunnel` to expose your localhost to the internet. Use the temporary URL provided as your callback e.g [http://6a71f5ec.ngrok.io/folder\_name/ussd.php](http://6a71f5ec.ngrok.io/folder_name/ussd.php). This only works when the computer is on and connected to the internet. If using `Ngrok` free package this address may change every 8 hours. You could opt for a paid version at 5 US dollars a month. 7. Now test the USSD application using `Africa's Talking` android app downloaded from Google Playstore or use the web interface at using the USSD code you configured i.e. `*384*1100#` Linux Hosting ------------- [](#linux-hosting) If you need VPS or dedicated hosting, please visit this link [Server Host](https://serverhost53.com) Support ------- [](#support) Need support using this package:- Email or skype me at `basilndonga`.
