Do not use Windows Notepad as it will break the files due to their UTF-8 coding and UNIX linebreaks. Download a serious editor like Notepad++ instead. Also do not use or modify this scripts, if you do not know, what you do. This script is itended for advanced users

The scripts are well documented, please take a look to understand them. This is also the right moment to check the config file "fritzbox.conf.php"!

All files must be in the same directory. If this condition is fulfilled, you don't need to pay any more attention to "fritzbox_api.class.php".

To use "fritzbox_tam_on_off.php", you have to call it in a terminal, it will then explain its usage. This script is a reference implementation of the PHP Fritz!Box API, use it as a base for your own implementations

The script works fine on my Windows Vista machine and a simply extraced PHP 5.3.0 distribution (get it at http://windows.php.net/download/, PHP 5.4.0 works as well). The cURL extension and the mbstring extenstion must be enabled in the php.ini and the correct timezone must be set. To do this, copy the php.ini-production to php.ini and uncomment/change the following directives:

extension_dir = "ext" extension=php_curl.dll extension=php_mbstring.dll date.timezone = Europe/Berlin

After you have done that, you can call the script in a terminal:

C:>path\to\php.exe path\to\fritzbox_tam_on_off.php

i.e. if you extracted PHP to c:\php and the Fritz!Box PHP API to a subfolder named fritz_api, you call it this way: C:>cd php C:\php>php fritz_api\fritzbox_tam_on_off.php

If you use the Windows taskplanner, configure the logger to a logfile or to silent mode and call via php-win.exe instead of php.exe. This will prevent the terminal from being opened.

If you use UNIX, you should be familiar with calling a PHP script via the PHP-CLI. If you don't have the PHP-CLI installed, you can edit the $argv part in "fritz_tam_on_off.php" to work with PHP-CGI and $_GET or you hardcode the necessary arguments.

Ensure that the cURL and the mbstring extensions are available and a valid timezone is set. The script was tested on a Ubuntu Server machine with PHP 5.2.

Feel free to add (and contribute) other nice scripts. The API class should work with any config item, which is available in the Fritz!Box Web UI. Use Firebug or LiveHeaders to figure out the name of the proper POST-Field.
