\#whmcs-php

This is a simple class which allows you to interact with the WHMCS API using PHP.

\##Installation

This is now available via composer, and can be included by creating a file called composer.json in the root with the contents:

```
{
    "name": "you/yourappname",
    "description": "Your app description",
    "version": "1.0",
    "homepage": "http://www.yoursite.tld",
	"require": {
	   "cmantito/whmcs-php": "dev-master"
	}
}

```

Then you can run `php /path/to/composer.phar install` to install it, assuming you've installed composer. See  for info. Alternatively, clone the repository and use `require_once 'whmcs.class.php';` if you do not use composer.

\##Setup

```
$whmcs = new WHMCS('https://whmcs-example.com/includes/api.php', 'api-user', 'password', 'optional-access-key');

```

The URL should point to your WHMCS install's `api.php` file (usually in `includes/`). `api-user` is the username of the WHMCS administrator the API will be using, and `password` should be that user's password. If you are using the API access key instead of IP-filtering with WHMCS, specify the access key as well (`optional-access-key`), otherwise, leave it off/null. (For more information about the access key, see [http://docs.whmcs.com/API:Access\_Keys](http://docs.whmcs.com/API:Access_Keys))

\##Return

Functions will return a PHP stdClass object with the results retrieved from WHMCS, unless an error is encountered. If WHMCS returns an error, a WhmcsException will be thrown; If CURL encounters an issue connecting (resolution errors, 404, etc), a standard Exception will be thrown. In most cases, WHMCS treats no results as an error condition itself, which will throw a WhmcsException; WHMCS is not very consistent however, so this may not always be the case :o)

\##Todo

This is mostly being developed inline with a project for Cadence Networks. As a result most of the functionality is being implemented in the order I need it, which is not necessarily this order:

- Client Management: update domain, upgrade product, send email.

Down the line:

- Client Management: update/delete/get contacts - addContact has recently been added by @hdlopes.

Never (unless someone else submits a pull request for it).

- Support tickets. WHMCS's excuse for support tickets is terrible, and you shouldn't use it. No one should. 0:)
