How to use JWPlayer in CodeIgniter? - php

Question

So far i have tried below:
...
public function upload()
{
$jwplatform_api = new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI('my_key', 'my_secret');
$target_file = 'upload/vids/course/bede6b9c266b876fc2f0dea7a86cf8bd.mp4';
$params = array();
$params['title'] = 'PHP API Test Upload';
$params['description'] = 'Video description here';
// Create video metadata
$create_response = json_encode($jwplatform_api->call('/videos/create', $params));
$decoded = json_decode(trim($create_response), TRUE);
$upload_link = $decoded['link'];
$upload_response = $jwplatform_api->upload($upload_link, $target_file);
print_r($upload_response);
}
...
But no luck, it says "Class 'Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI' not found".
And yeah, i have put the files I got from https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplatform-php in the ROOT position inside a folder named "jwplatform-php".

Ok since you don't want to use composer - here is a guide
1. Download as Zip
2. Create a folder
In your folder application/third_party/ create a folder called jwplatformapi/
3. Unpack the init.php and the src folder
Unpack from your zip file the init.php and the src folder into your application/third_party/jwplatformapi/ folder
it should looke like
4. Create your library
Create a file called Jwplatform_library.php in your application/libraries/ folder
class Jwplatform_library
{
private $key;
private $secret;
public function __construct($key = 'my_key', $secret = 'my_secret')
{
$this->key = $key;
$this->secret = $secret;
}
public function get()
{
require_once(APPPATH.'third_party/jwplatformapi/init.php');
return new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI($this->key, $this->secret);
}
}
5. use it in one of your controllers
public function upload()
{
$this->load->library('Jwplatform_library', ['my_key', 'my_secret']);
$obj = $this->jwplatform_library->get();
var_dump($obj);
}
