Documentation? Example? How to use? about matomo-php-tracker HOT 7 CLOSED

@sgiehl I suppose not much changed? Basically people can install it same way, or using composer install? And they use MatomoTracker now which is probably the biggest change?

An authentication error should actually not happen I would say. Doubt we changed anything there?

@thd-fox was the token auth maybe reset in the Matomo UI?

I agree, there are no code samples for someone new to copy/paste and get things moving quickly.

Here is something that could be posted on the main readme:

// Required variables
$matomoSiteId = 6;                  // Site ID
$matomoUrl = "https://example.tld"; // Your matomo URL
$matomoToken = "";                  // Your authentication token

// Optional variable
$matomoPageTitle = "";              // The title of the page

// Load object
require_once("MatomoTracker.php");

// Matomo object
$matomoTracker = new MatomoTracker((int)$matomoSiteId, $matomoUrl);

// Set authentication token
$matomoTracker->setTokenAuth($matomoToken);

// Track page view
$matomoTracker->doTrackPageView($matomoPageTitle);

Thank you @tsteur and @robo2bobo I figured out that with your new version of the tracking library all requests are blocked by apache mod_security. I changed my server configuration and now it's working fine.
I suppose your new version will work as expected then. I can't verify it by now. I will soon update and report back to you :)
@robo2bobo's code sample would be very helpful! With this I can confirm I'm using the library correctly :)

@thd-fox do you know what exactly blocked it in mod_security?

from matomo-php-tracker.

@tsteur I suppose it could be related to your different call method. The old version, which I use right now did not conflict with mod_security. There were standard filters activated, which let all old requests through. The new ones were completely blocked. I couldn't figure out the reason. I simply disabled mod_security.

Took your example and added it to the readme, also added basic install instructions. Feel free to suggest more or edit readme directly and create a PR 👍
