PHP SDK is installable through composer
. Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. SDK expects the following from the client app.
NOTE :
- Client app must have PHP 7.4 or above with curl extension enabled.
- SDK must be installed into client app though composer
Install Composer(if not installed) Run this command to install the composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
To make the composer accessible globally, follow the instructions from the link below
To install composer on mac/ linux machine:
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx
To install composer on windows machine:
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows
Install PHP SDK Here's how you install the SDK:
- Navigate to the workspace of your client app
- Run the command below:
composer require zoho-sign/php-sdk
Hence, the PHP SDK would be installed and a package named 'vendor' would be created in the workspace of your client app.
Since Zoho CRM APIs are authenticated with OAuth2 standards, you should register your client app with Zoho. To register your app:
- Visit this page https://accounts.zoho.com/developerconsole.
- Click on
Add Client ID
. - Enter Client Name, Client Domain and Redirect URI then click
Create
. - Your Client app would have been created and displayed by now.
- The newly registered app's Client ID and Client Secret can be found by clicking
Options
โEdit
. (Options is the three dot icon at the right corner).
To import the classes used in SDK, use 'require_once' to include the 'autoload.php' created by composer
require 'vendor/autoload.php'
It is required to set the OAuth2 credentials of an user as the current user as a first step.
$user = new OAuth( array(
OAuth::CLIENT_ID => "",
OAuth::CLIENT_SECRET => "",
OAuth::DC => "COM", // allowed values : com/COM, in/IN, au/AU, eu/EU
OAuth::REFRESH_TOKEN => "",
OAuth::ACCESS_TOKEN => "" // optional. If not set, will auto refresh for access token
) );
ZohoSign::setCurrentUser( $user );
All subsequent api calls made will be made on behalf of this user The First time user permission authenticion/approval is to handled and the oauth credential storage has to be manually handled.
You can refresh & store the access_token as
$user->generateAccessTokenUsingRefreshToken();
Note : The OAuth credentials needs to storage(DB or file) needs to be logically handled manually
