This library is compatible with Selenium server version 2.x and 3.x. It implements the [JsonWireProtocol](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol), which is currently supported by the Selenium server and will also implement the [W3C WebDriver](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) specification in the future. The concepts of this library are very similar to the "official" Java, .NET, Python and Ruby bindings from the [Selenium project](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/). **This is new version of PHP client, rewritten from scratch starting 2013.**Using the old version? Check out [Adam Goucher's fork](https://github.com/Element-34/php-webdriver) of it. Looking for API documentation of php-webdriver? See [https://facebook.github.io/php-webdriver/](https://facebook.github.io/php-webdriver/latest/) Any complaint, question, idea? You can post it on the user group . Installation ------------ [](#installation) Installation is possible using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). If you don't already use Composer, you can download the `composer.phar` binary: ``` curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php ``` Then install the library: ``` php composer.phar require facebook/webdriver ``` Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) All you need as the server for this client is the `selenium-server-standalone-#.jar` file provided here: Download and run that file, replacing # with the current server version. ``` java -jar selenium-server-standalone-#.jar ``` Then when you create a session, be sure to pass the url to where your server is running. ``` // This would be the url of the host running the server-standalone.jar $host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'; // this is the default ``` - Launch Firefox: ``` $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, DesiredCapabilities::firefox()); ``` - Launch Chrome: ``` $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, DesiredCapabilities::chrome()); ``` You can also customize the desired capabilities: ``` $desired_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities::firefox(); $desired_capabilities->setCapability('acceptSslCerts', false); $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, $desired_capabilities); ``` - See for more details. - Above snippets are not intended to be a working example by simply copy pasting. See [example.php](example.php) for working example. Changelog --------- [](#changelog) For latest changes see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file. More information ---------------- [](#more-information) Some how-tos are provided right here in [our GitHub wiki](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/wiki). You may also want to check out the Selenium [docs](http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/) and [wiki](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki). Testing framework integration ----------------------------- [](#testing-framework-integration) To take advantage of automatized testing you will most probably want to integrate php-webdriver to your testing framework. There are some project already providing this: - [Steward](https://github.com/lmc-eu/steward) integrates php-webdriver directly to [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/), also providers parallelization. - [Codeception](http://codeception.com) testing framework provides BDD-layer on top of php-webdriver in its [WebDriver module](http://codeception.com/docs/modules/WebDriver). - You can also check out this [blogpost](http://codeception.com/11-12-2013/working-with-phpunit-and-selenium-webdriver.html) + [demo project](https://github.com/DavertMik/php-webdriver-demo), describing simple [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) integration.
