php\_webdriver
==============

[](#php_webdriver)

This library is a client for Selenium WebDriver. It is forked from [Facebook's php-webdriver project](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver). The main changes are bug fixes, PSR0-autoloading support, and publishing it as a PEAR package.

Internally, it is implemented as a very thin wrapper around the [JsonWireProtocol](http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol) that WebDriver uses to control a (possibly remote) browser.

System-Wide Installation
------------------------

[](#system-wide-installation)

php-webdriver should be installed using the [PEAR Installer](http://pear.php.net).

```
sudo pear channel-discover datasift.github.io/pear
sudo pear install --alldeps DataSift/webdriver1

```

Composer support coming soon.

As A Dependency On Your Component
---------------------------------

[](#as-a-dependency-on-your-component)

If you are creating a component that relies on php\_webdriver, please make sure that you add php\_webdriver to your component's package.xml file:

```

      webdriver1
      datasift.github.io/pear
      1.0.0
      1.999.9999

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

For now, refer to the original documentation from [Facebook's php-webdriver project](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver), and to the [WebDriver JsonWireProtocol document](http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol). We hope to publish better documentation when time allows.

Development Environment
-----------------------

[](#development-environment)

If you want to patch or enhance this component, you will need to create a suitable development environment. The easiest way to do that is to install [phix4componentdev](http://phix-project.org).

You can then clone the git repository:

```
git clone https://github.com/datasift/php_webdriver

```

Then, install a local copy of this component's dependencies to complete the development environment:

```
# build vendor/ folder
phing build-vendor

```

To make life easier for you, common tasks (such as running unit tests, generating code review analytics, and creating the PEAR package) have been automated using [phing](http://phing.info). You'll find the automated steps inside the build.xml file that ships with the component.

Run the command 'phing' in the component's top-level folder to see the full list of available automated tasks.
