What is this!
-------------

[](#what--is-this)

Library for performing Pingback requests in a simple way (Pingback 1.0 compliant).

Pingback-PHP is Pingback 1.0 standard specification compliant. Please refer to its [original webpage](http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback) to get deeper information about how it works.

A quick example:

To inform to [this article](http://www.mabishu.com/blog/2012/12/14/object-calisthenics-write-better-object-oriented-code/)that you have referenced it from [one of your posts](http://www.mabishu.com/blog/2012/12/14/get-better-performance-and-life-from-your-ssd-in-linux-based-systems/)by using the Pingback protocol, you can make it like this:

```
// Prepare the Pingback client
$requestHandler = new Pingback\RequestHandler();
$client = new Pingback\Client($requestHandler);

// Perform the pingback call
try {

    $client->ping(
        "http://www.mabishu.com/blog/2012/12/14/get-better-performance-and-life-from-your-ssd-in-linux-based-systems/",
        "http://www.mabishu.com/blog/2012/12/14/object-calisthenics-write-better-object-oriented-code/";
    );

} catch (Pingback\Exception $e) {
  printf("Exception raised with code (%d) : %s\n", $e->getCode(), $e->getMessage());
}

```

Exception-aware
---------------

[](#exception-aware)

Pingback-PHP raises different exceptions if some error happens in the target server or between client-server communication.

All the exceptions has a direct correlation with the server reported faults:

- 0: A generic fault code.
- 0×0010 (16): The source URI does not exist.
- 0×0011 (17): The source URI does not contain a link to the target URI
- 0×0020 (32): The specified target URI does not exist.
- 0×0021 (33): The specified target URI cannot be used as a target.
- 0×0030 (48): The pingback has already been registered.
- 0×0031 (49): Access denied.
- 0×0032 (50): The server could not communicate with an upstream server.

So take care of this raised exceptions in your code.

Install it!
-----------

[](#install-it)

1. Just put in one of your include\_path folders, and make sure to use an PSR-0-compatible autoloader.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

This library is only compatible with PHP 5.3 or later.

- For now the unique dependency is the xmlrpc php extension for encoding/decing the protocol messages. We are looking to replace this with a simple library.

Test it!
--------

[](#test-it)

Help us to mantain this library updated. Run our unit tests with phpunit to give us feedback about what doesn't work.

For running tests:

1. Install in your system PHPUnit:
2. And simply run phpunit from the root of projct: phpunit

And... what else?
-----------------

[](#and-what-else)

If you find a bug or want to suggest a new video service, please let us know in [a ticket](http://github.com/frandieguez/pingback-php/issues).

Thanks!!
