Easy to use PHP file conversion API with support for 1,100+ file conversions - convert documents, audio, images, video, eBooks and more. Use `zamzar-php` to convert files between different formats as part of your PHP application with the [Zamzar file conversion API](https://developers.zamzar.com). Common use cases include:

- Convert Microsoft Word (DOCX, DOC) to PDF
- Extract text from PDF files
- Convert Powerpoint (PPT, PPTX) to JPG
- Archive email (MSG files) to PDF

This is the official PHP SDK for the [Zamzar file conversion API](https://developers.zamzar.com).

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

[](#requirements)

- Before you begin, signup for a Zamzar API Account or retrieve your existing API Key from the [Zamzar Developers Homepage](https://developers.zamzar.com/user)
- PHP 7.2.34 and later.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the bindings via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Run the following command:

```
composer require zamzar/zamzar-php
```

To use the bindings, use Composer's [autoload](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#autoloading):

```
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
```

Initialise the Zamzar Client
----------------------------

[](#initialise-the-zamzar-client)

To initialise the client, declare a new ZamzarClient:

```
// Connect to the Production API using an API Key
$zamzar = new \Zamzar\ZamzarClient([
    'api_key' => 'apiKey',
    'transport' => \Zamzar\ZamzarClient::recommendedTransport()
]);
```

To specify whether the client using the Production or Test API, use a Config array:

```
// Use the Production API
$zamzar = new \Zamzar\ZamzarClient([
    'api_key' => 'apiKey',
    'environment' => 'production',
    'transport' => \Zamzar\ZamzarClient::recommendedTransport()
]);

// Use the Sandbox API
$zamzar = new \Zamzar\ZamzarClient([
    'api_key' => 'apiKey',
    'environment' => 'sandbox',
    'transport' => \Zamzar\ZamzarClient::recommendedTransport()
]);
```

Test the Connection
-------------------

[](#test-the-connection)

To confirm your credentials are correct, test the connection to the API which will return a welcome message and confirm which API you are using (Production or Test).

```
echo $zamzar->testConnection();
```

Typical Usage
-------------

[](#typical-usage)

The most common requirement is to submit a job to convert a file, wait for the job to complete, download the converted files and delete the files on Zamzar servers.

```
// Submit the file
$job = $zamzar->jobs->create([
    'source_file' => 'path/to/local/file',
    'target_format' => 'xxx'
]);

// Wait for the job to complete (the default timeout is 60 seconds)
$job->waitForCompletion(30);

// Download the converted files
$job->downloadTargetFiles('path/to/folder/');

// Delete the source and target files on Zamzar's servers
$job->deleteAllFiles();
```

The above use case might be applied when other things are happening in between each step, but if not, and you want to chain the whole thing together:

```
// Do the whole thing together
$job = $zamzar->jobs->create([
        'source_file' => 'path/to/localfile',
        'target_format' => 'pdf'
    ])
    ->waitForCompletion(120)
    ->downloadTargetFiles('path/to/folder')
    ->deleteAllFiles();
```

Configure a Logger
------------------

[](#configure-a-logger)

The library does minimal logging, if the `debug` config option is used. Use either the supplied default logger or a psr-3 compatible logger.

```
$client = new Zamzar\ZamzarClient([
    'api_key' = '****',
    'debug' => true,
]);

// PSR-3 Compatible Logger
\Zamzar\Zamzar::setLogger($psr3Logger);

// Using Monolog
$logger = new Logger('Zamzar');
$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler(__DIR__.'/app.log', Logger::DEBUG));
\Zamzar\Zamzar::setLogger($logger);
```
