Smiirl Library for PHP
======================

[](#smiirl-library-for-php)

The **Smiirl Library for PHP** makes it easy for developers to interact with Smiirl Custom Counters in their PHP code,

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

1. **Minimum requirements** – To run the library, your system will need to meet the minimum requirements, including having **PHP >= 7.0**. We highly recommend having it compiled with the cURL extension and cURL 7.16.2+ compiled with a TLS backend (e.g., NSS or OpenSSL).
2. **Install the library** – Using \[Composer\] is the recommended way to install the Smiirl Library for PHP. The library is available via \[Packagist\] under the \[`smiirl/smiirl-library-php`\]\[install-packagist\] package. If Composer is installed globally on your system, you can run the following in the base directory of your project to add the library as a dependency: ```
    composer require smiirl/smiirl-library-php

    ```

How does the Custom Counter works

### JSON: output a valid JSON

The JSON method consists in exposing a valid endpoint that the counter will monitor. For instance, if you set the counter to monitor this URL , your counter will display 1. For this method, you need a webserver to host your code.

**Example:**
