DHL PHP SDK
===========

This *unofficial* library is wrapping some functions of the DHL SOAP API in order to easy create/delete shipments and labels.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- You need a [DHL developer Account](https://entwickler.dhl.de/) and - as long as you want to use the API in production systems - a DHL Intraship Account.
- PHP-Version 5.4 or higher *(It may work on older Versions, but I don't offer Support for these)*
- PHP-SOAP-Client installed + enabled on your Server. [More information on php.net](http://php.net/manual/en/soap.setup.php)

Installation
------------

You can use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install the package to your project:

```

The classes are then added to the autoloader automatically.

### Without Composer

To initial this SDK, just require the [\_nonComposerLoader.php](https://github.com/Petschko/dhl-php-sdk/blob/master/includes/_nonComposerLoader.php)-File from the `/includes/` directory.

```
require_once(__DIR__ . '/includes/_nonComposerLoader.php');
```

- [Getting started (Just a quick guide how you have to use it)](https://github.com/Petschko/dhl-php-sdk/blob/master/examples/getting-started.md)
- *More examples soon*

Please have a look at the `examples` [Directory](https://github.com/Petschko/dhl-php-sdk/tree/master/examples). There you can find how to use this SDK also with Code-Examples, else check the *(Doxygen)* [Documentation](http://docs.petschko.org/dhl-php-sdk/index.html) for deeper knowledge.

Code Documentation
------------------

[](#code-documentation)

You find Code-Examples with explanations in the `examples` Directory. I also explain how it works.

You can find a Code-Reference here: *(Doxygen)*

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

I had a lot of pain studying and programming the DHL SOAP API - just to wrap some bits in a lot of XML. There is a lot, but not very helpful, documentation to the API. So I decided to create some functions in an easy to use and understand library.

There is also a lot of old stuff in the Documentation, so that you can not sure if it is right...
