convertapi-php
==============

[](#convertapi-php)

PHP library for the [convertapi.com](http://www.convertapi.com) REST API.

ConvertApi is an online file conversion service for creating PDF and Images from various source files, such as Word documents, web pages and raw HTML. converapi-php provides a set of classes for using the ConvertApi service with PHP.

Development of this library is not in any way connected with Baltsoft Software.

Installation via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)
----------------------------------------------------

[](#installation-via-composer)

- Install Composer to your project root:

    ```
    curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    ```
- Add a `composer.json` file to your project:

    ```
    {
        "require": {
            "knyga/convertapi-php": "dev-master"
        }
    }
    ```
- Run the Composer installer:

    ```
    php composer.phar install
    ```

Using
-----

[](#using)

Using the library is simple:

1. Include the required concrete class ( include('Text2PDF.php'); )
2. Instantiate the class ( $text2pdf = new ConvertAPI\\Text2Pdf(); )
3. Either:
4. Carry out the conversion using filesystem path for output ( $text2pdf->convert('/path/to/intput/file.txt', '/path/to/output/file.pdf'); )
5. Carry out the conversion using function return for output ( $text2pdf->convert('/path/to/intput/file.txt'); )

The conversion will write the converted document to the given filesystem path and return verious details about the conversion (depending on the response from ConvertApi), or return a binary string representation of the document.

See example/example.php for a working example.

Extending
---------

[](#extending)

The library currently supports all the conversions available via convertapi.com.

Addition of new conversions is simply a matter of extending the abstract ConvertAPI class and

a) defining:

- $\_apiUrl - the URL of the ConvertApi endpoint (see  for details)
- $\_validInputFormats - an array of document types (extensions) which can be converted

b) completing function \_\_set() to handle additional valid parameters for the conversion being defined.
