ZenSend PHP bindings
====================

[](#zensend-php-bindings)

You can sign up for a ZenSend account at .

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

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.3.3 and later.

Composer
--------

[](#composer)

You can install the bindings via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Add this to your `composer.json`:

```
{
  "require": {
    "zensend/zensend": "1.0.4"
  }
}

```

Then install via:

```
composer install

```

To use the bindings, use Composer's [autoload](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#autoloading):

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

```

Manual Installation
-------------------

[](#manual-installation)

If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the [latest release](https://github.com/zensend/zensend_php_api/releases). Then, to use the bindings, include the `init.php` file.

```
require_once('/path/to/zensend_php_api/init.php');

```

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

[](#getting-started)

Simple usage looks like:

```
$client = new ZenSend\Client("api_key");
$request = new ZenSend\SmsRequest();
$request->body = "BODY";
$request->originator = "ORIG";
$request->numbers = ["447700000000"];
$result = $client->send_sms($request);
echo $result->numbers;
echo $result->sms_parts;
echo $result->encoding;
echo $result->tx_guid;

```

Verify Getting Started
----------------------

[](#verify-getting-started)

After authenticating the user display the verify iframe using the following code:

```

```

Create another file called verify\_callback.php to handle verification:

```

```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Please see  for up-to-date documentation.

Certificate Errors
------------------

[](#certificate-errors)

If you receive errors like:

```
"SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate"

```

This is likely because your php curl is not set up with a certificate bundle. This can be fixed by following the instructions here:

Or alternatively we have included the CA certificates that we require in a bundle which can be used by creating the ZenSend Client like:

$client = ZenSend\\Client::newWithHardcodedCA("api\_key");

String Encoding
---------------

[](#string-encoding)

All strings sent to the API should be UTF-8 encoded.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

In order to run tests first install [PHPUnit](http://packagist.org/packages/phpunit/phpunit) via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer update --dev

```

To run the test suite:

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit

```

Manual Testing
--------------

[](#manual-testing)

```
~/.composer/vendor/bin/psysh
>>> require('./init.php')
>>> $client = new ZenSend\Client("api_key", array(), "http://127.0.0.1:8084", "http://verify.fonix.dev");
>>> $response = $client->lookup_operator("441234567890");
>>> $client->create_msisdn_verification("441234567890");
>>> $client->msisdn_verification_status("a33d10fe587096a0b70d3701fc2c9f7e")
>>> $verify = new ZenSend\Verify("api_key", array(), "http://verify.fonix.dev");
>>> $verify->create_session("441234567890")
>>> $verify->write_tags("callback");

```
