PHP

Scenarios

To use PHP to call an API through App authentication, obtain the PHP SDK, create a new project, and then call the API by referring to the API calling example.

This section uses IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3.5 as an example.

Preparing the Environment

  • You have obtained the domain name, request URL, and request method of the API to be called, and the AppKey and AppSecret of the app for calling the API. For more information, see Preparation.
  • You have installed IntelliJ IDEA. If not, download IntelliJ IDEA from the official IntelliJ IDEA website and install it.
  • You have installed the PHP programming language. If not, download the PHP installation package from the official PHP website and install it.
  • Copy the php.ini-production file from the PHP installation directory to the C:\windows\ directory, rename the file as php.ini, and then add the following lines to the file: 
    1
2
3
    		 
    extension_dir = "PHP installation directory/ext"
extension=openssl
extension=curl
  • You have installed the PHP plug-in on IntelliJ IDEA. If not, install the PHP plug-in according to Figure 1.

Obtaining the SDK

Log in to the API Gateway console, and download the SDK on the SDKs page by referring to section "SDKs" in the User Guide.

The following table shows the files decompressed from the package.

Sample code

Creating a Project

    Modify the parameters in sample code signer.php as required. For details about the sample code, see API Calling Example.

API Calling Example

  1. Import the PHP SDK to your code.

    1
    		 
    require 'signer.php';

  2. Generate a new signer and enter the AppKey and AppSecret.

    1

    $signer = new Signer();
$signer->Key = '4f5f626b-073f-402f-a1e0-e52171c6100c';
$signer->Secret = "******";

  3. Generate a new request and specify the method, request URL, and body. (The body should contain the actual request content.)

    1
2
    		 
    $req = new Request('GET', "https://c967a237-cd6c-470e-906f-a8655461897e.apigw.exampleRegion.com/app1?a=1");
$req->body = '';

  4. Add the x-stage header to the request to specify an environment name. Add other headers to be signed as necessary.

    1
2
3
    		 
    $req->headers = array(
    'x-stage' => 'RELEASE',
);

  5. Execute the following function to generate a $curl context variable.

    1
    		 
    $curl = $signer->Sign($req);

  6. Access the API and view the access result.

    $response = curl_exec($curl);
echo curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
echo $response;
curl_close($curl);
