For hosted API documentation, basic usage instructions, supported version listing, etc. visit the main project website at:

For more information about the Experience API visit:

Requires PHP 5.5 or later. (If you must run something older you should look at the 0.x release series or the PHP\_5\_2 branch.)

### Installation

[](#installation)

TinCanPHP is available via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
php composer.phar require rusticisoftware/tincan:@stable

```

When not using Composer, require the autoloader:

```
require 'path/to/TinCan/autoload.php';
```

### Testing

[](#testing)

Tests are implemented using the latest stable version of PHPUnit. It will be installed when using Composer. Configure the LRS endpoint and credentials by copying the `tests/config/config.dist.php` to `tests/config/config.php` then setting the values for your LRS.

Once configured run:

```
vendor/bin/phpunit

```

### API Doc Generation

[](#api-doc-generation)

Documentation can be output using [phpDocumentor2](http://phpdoc.org). It will be installed when using Composer. To generate documentation:

```
vendor/bin/phpdoc

```

From the root of the repository after running `php composer.phar update`. Documentation will be output to `doc/api`.

If you do not have the default timezone set in your `php.ini` file you can create one in the base of the repo and use the `PHPRC` environment variable to point to it. Use something like:

```
export PHPRC="/path/to/repos/TinCanPHP/php.ini"

```

And set the timezone in that file using:

```
[PHP]

date.timezone = "US/Central"

```

### Certificate Generation

[](#certificate-generation)

These instructions are for creating the requisite public/private key pair and certificate on a Mac with OpenSSL installed. See  and .

Generate a private key (which contains a public key) without a password (not recommended):

```
openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048

```

To generate a private key with a password:

```
openssl genrsa -des3 -out privkey.pem 2048

```

Create a certificate signing request:

```
 openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out cert.csr

```

To create a self signed certificate (as opposed to one signed by a CA), primarily for testing purposes:

```
openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095

```
