freshbooks-php
==============

[](#freshbooks-php)

Freshbooks PHP Library (forked from: )

Credit to Milan Rukavina () for developing the original library at the above URL.

Warning
-------

[](#warning)

Please note that the library from which this is forked has not been updated or maintained since May 2011. It has A LOT of bugs. It works for some basic tasks well (sending invoices, triggering payments via a payment gateway) but there are lot of "basic" functions that are broken (grabbing invoice details by invoice #, updating invoices as sent, etc.)

This library is only for the brave of heart and for those interested in helping fix up an outdated Freshbooks PHP library.

Initiation
----------

[](#initiation)

To initialize the library, include an initiation block like below.

```
// Include particular file(s) for entity you need (Client, Invoice, Category…)
include_once "library/FreshBooks/Client.php";

// Your API url and token obtained from Freshbooks.com
$url = "your-url-please-replace";
$token = "your-token-please-replace";

// Cnit singleton FreshBooks_HttpClient
FreshBooks_HttpClient::init($url,$token);

```

Get Client Data
---------------

[](#get-client-data)

```
// New Client object
$client = new FreshBooks_Client();

// Try to get client with client_id 3
if (!$client->get(3)){
    // No data – read error
    echo $client->lastError;
}
else {
    // Investigate populated data
    print_r($client);
}

```

New Client
----------

[](#new-client)

```
// new Client object
$client = new FreshBooks_Client();

//populate client’s properties
$client->email = ‘test@test.com’;
$client->firstName = ‘Chad’;
$client->lastName = ‘Smith’;

//all other required properties should be populated

//try to create new client with provided data on FB server
if(!$client->create()){
    //read error
    echo $client->lastError;
}
else {
    //investigate populated data
    print_r($client);
}

```

Lookup Invoice By InvoiceID #00000324301
----------------------------------------

[](#lookup-invoice-by-invoiceid-00000324301)

```
$invoice = new Freshbooks_Invoice();

$invoice->get('00000324301')
	or die("Unable to get Invoice: " . $invoice->lastError);

print_r($invoice);

```

Lookup Invoice(s) for Client #17992
-----------------------------------

[](#lookup-invoices-for-client-17992)

```
$invoice = new Freshbooks_Invoice();

$invoice->listing($rows, $resultInfo, 1, 3, array('clientId' => 17992,
				                              'status' => '',
						                      'dateTo' => '',
						                      'dateFrom' => '',
						                      'recurringId' => ''))
	or die("Unable to grab Invoice listing: " . $invoice->lastError);

if ($invoice) {
	print_r($rows);
	print_r($resultInfo);
}

```

Mark Invoice As Paid
--------------------

[](#mark-invoice-as-paid)

```
$payment = new Freshbooks_Payment();

$payment->invoiceId = '00000324300';

// To mark payment as 'PAID', this amount must be the full amount outstanding on the invoice
$payment->amount    = '2.44';

$payment->type      = 'Bank Transfer';

$payment->create()
	or die("Unable to mark Invoice as paid: " . $payment->lastError);

// Note: this will automatically send the client a payment notification e-mail
// letting them know that their invoice has been paid.

```
