ConfigCat SDK for PHP 7
=======================

[](#configcat-sdk-for-php-7)

ConfigCat SDK for PHP 7 provides easy integration for your application to ConfigCat.

ConfigCat is a feature flag and configuration management service that lets you separate releases from deployments. You can turn your features ON/OFF using [ConfigCat Dashboard](https://app.configcat.com) even after they are deployed. ConfigCat lets you target specific groups of users based on region, email or any other custom user attribute.

ConfigCat is a [hosted feature flag service](https://configcat.com). Manage feature toggles across frontend, backend, mobile, desktop apps. [Alternative to LaunchDarkly](https://configcat.com). Management app + feature flag SDKs.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.2

ConfigCat SDK for PHP >= 8.1 is available [here](https://github.com/configcat/php-sdk).

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### 1. Install the package with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

[](#1-install-the-package-with-composer)

```
composer require configcat/configcat-client-php7
```

### 2. Go to the [ConfigCat Dashboard](https://app.configcat.com/sdkkey) to get your *SDK Key*:

[](#2-go-to-the-configcat-dashboard-to-get-your-sdk-key)

[![SDK-KEY](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ConfigCat/php7-sdk/main/media/readme02-3.png "SDK-KEY")](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ConfigCat/php7-sdk/main/media/readme02-3.png)

### 3. Create the *ConfigCat* client instance

[](#3-create-the-configcat-client-instance)

```
$client = new \ConfigCat\ConfigCatClient("#YOUR-SDK-KEY#");
```

### 4. Get your setting value:

[](#4-get-your-setting-value)

```
$isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled = $client->getValue("isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled", false);
if(is_bool($isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled) && $isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled) {
    doTheNewThing();
} else {
    doTheOldThing();
}
```

Getting user specific setting values with Targeting
---------------------------------------------------

[](#getting-user-specific-setting-values-with-targeting)

Using this feature, you will be able to get different setting values for different users in your application by passing a `User Object` to the `getValue()` function.

Read more about [Targeting here](https://configcat.com/docs/advanced/targeting/).

User object
-----------

[](#user-object)

Percentage and targeted rollouts are calculated by the user object you can optionally pass to the configuration requests. The user object must be created with a **mandatory** identifier parameter which should uniquely identify each user:

```
$user = new \ConfigCat\User("#USER-IDENTIFIER#"); // mandatory

$isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled = $client->getValue("isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled", false, $user);
if(is_bool($isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled) && $isMyAwesomeFeatureEnabled) {
    doTheNewThing();
} else {
    doTheOldThing();
}
```
