Is there an easy to setup Codeigniter REST library which I can use to consume a RESTful service? I tried setting up this library. But could not set up Spark. Tried following steps:
Adding a directory named sparks in the root of your codeigniter directory
Adding a custom Loader Class to application/core/MY_Loader.php.
It gave me another error Cannot find spark path at sparks/curl/1.2.1/. Now I am stuck. Wondering why it is so hard to setup RESTful API in codeigniter.
Update: When I try to run
$this->load->spark('restclient/2.1.0');
// Load the library
$this->load->library('rest');
// Run some setup
$this->rest->initialize(array('server' => 'http://api.twitter.com/'));
// Pull in an array of tweets
$tweets = $this->rest->get('1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name=jenksuy&count=2');
$tweetobjects = json_decode($tweets);
foreach ($tweetobjects['results'] as $tweet) {
log_message('info', $tweet['text']);
}
I am getting Error: Call to undefined method CI_Loader::spark()
sparks is not necessary SEE EDIT. use this tutorial to start, the author also wrote the libraries
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/working-with-restful-services-in-codeigniter-2/
download these two to work with the tutorial:
https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-restserver
https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-restclient
also at the end of the tutorial - theres many comments and questions, and the tutorial author has answered many of them
EDIT - whoops forgot you have to change one line. and you will need to DL the CI curl library. OK so in the rest client, in the file Rest.php starting at line 53
/* Not using Sparks? You bloody well should be.
| If you are going to be a stick in the mud then do it the old fashioned way
$this->_ci->load->library('curl');
*/
// Load the cURL spark which this is dependant on
$this->_ci->load->spark('curl/1.2.1');
so change it to load curl library the traditional way and commment out the spark reference
$this->_ci->load->library('curl');
// Load the cURL spark which this is dependant on
// $this->_ci->load->spark('curl/1.2.1');
You can install curl 1.2.1 by running the following command on your application root (not your application folder):
php tools/spark install -v1.2.1 curl

Hello i have installed Parse server and parse sdk for php on my Linux Centos Server.
Parse Dashboard: 1.3.3,
Server version: 4.3.0
I'm managing those db's using php code. This parser was installed by someone else. The thing is I'm not sure how to install LiveQuery for my server. I don't know if my version of server is good for this kind of operations. I found some solutions how to enable this feature, but there was something like "index.js" - in my file system it's app.js. Screen of file system
In app.js i added lines:
liveQuery: {
classNames: ["Test"] //List of classes to support for query subscritions
}
I've created class in my db named "Test", then i found solution i need to add
this line
liveQueryUrl: keyLiveQueryUrl, // Required if using LiveQuery
I don't really know how to get this key.
How can i check if LiveQuery works? It will be used by flutter code, but i'd like to check it first in PHP.
My problem has been solved in my other extended topic here.
I tried to implement the simplesamlphp library into my web application. But when I call the requireAuth() function I get a PHP fatal error message. Uncaught Exception: Loader: Illegal character in filename.....
It seems like he can't resolve the Class SimpleSAML\Module\saml\Auth\Source\SP
But I don't know why.
Does anyone have a idea how to fix this?
I already deleted the whole simplesamlphp installation and reinstalled it.
I use the following code:
require 'var/www/simplesamlphp/lib/_autoload.php';
$lAuthSrc = new \SimpleSAML\Auth\Simple('default-sp');
if (!$lAuthSrc->isAuthenticated()) {
$lAuthSrc->requireAuth();
}
$lAttributes = $lAuthSrc -> getAttributes();
foreach($lAttributes as $lAttribute) {
print_r($lAttribute);
}
Some additional informations:
The configured authentication source test works fine. If I login via the configured authentication source, everything works fine and I don't get any error messages (the requireAuth() function don't get called in this case).
I use the latest version of simplesamlphp v.1.18.3
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Honestly it looks like your path is messed up on the require... are you sure you should be using:
require 'var/www/simplesamlphp/lib/_autoload.php';
and not
require '/var/www/simplesamlphp/lib/_autoload.php';
Do you really have a 'var/www' subdirectory relative to the location of the script? That looks wrong to me. If you include that first / before var it makes that path absolute to the typical install location for SSP.
Thank you all for your help. I discovered this morning the issue. The issue was the autoloader which I use for my own application. I registered the application autoloader in another file which gets executed before the code you see above. And simplesamlphp uses some conditions like:
if (!class_exists($className))
And beacuse I registered my application autoloader before the function class_exists checked if the class exists in my application. In my application I don't use namespaces and this was the issue.
To fix this issue, I unregistered my application autoloader before using the simplesamlphp code and registered the autoloader again after the simplesamlphp code.
I hope this will save some of you headaches.
Introduction
I've never worked with a framework before (Zend, CakePHP, etc) and finally decided to sit down and learn one. I'm starting with Laravel because the code looks pretty and unlike some other frameworks I tried to install, the "Hello, World!" example worked on the first try.
The Goal
For the time being, I want my app to do something very simple:
User submits a request in the form of: GET /dist/lat,lng
The app uses the remote IP address and MaxMind to determine $latitude1 and $longitude1
This request path is parsed for $latitude2 and $longitude2
Using these two positions, we calculate the distance between them. To do this I'm using Rafael Fragoso's WorldDistance PHP class
Since I plan to re-use this function in later projects, it didn't seem right to throw all of the code into the /app directory. The two reusable parts of the application were:
A service provider that connects to MaxMind and returns a latitude and longitude
A service provider that takes two points on a globe and returns the distance
If I build facades correctly then instead of my routes.php file being a mess of closures within closures, I can simply write:
Route::get('dist/{input}', function($input){
$input = explode( "," , $input );
return Distance::getDistance( GeoIP::getLocation(), $input );
});
What I've tried
Initial Attempt
For the first service provider, I found Daniel Stainback's Laravel 5 GeoIP service provider. It didn't install as easily as it should have (I had to manually copy geoip.php to the /config directory, update /config/app.php by hand, and run composer update and php artisan optimize) however it worked: A request to GET /test returned all of my information.
For the second service provider, I started by trying to mimic the directory structure and file naming convention of the GeoIP service provider. I figured that if I had the same naming convention, the autoloader would be able to locate my class. So I created /vendor/stevendesu/worlddistance/src/Stevendesu/WorldDistance\WorldDistanceServiceProvider.php:
<?php namespace Stevendesu\WorldDistance;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class WorldDistanceServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
protected $defer = false;
public function register()
{
// Register providers.
$this->app['distance'] = $this->app->share(function($app)
{
return new WorldDistance();
});
}
public function provides()
{
return ['distance'];
}
}
I then added this to my /config/app.php:
'Stevendesu\WorldDistance\WorldDistanceServiceProvider',
This fails with a fatal error:
FatalErrorException in ProviderRepository.php line 150:
Class 'Stevendesu\WorldDistance\WorldDistanceServiceProvider' not found
Using WorkBench
Since this utterly failed I figured that there must be some other file dependency: maybe without composer.json or without a README it gives up. I don't know. So I started to look into package creation. Several Google searches for "create package laravel 5" proved fruitless. Either:
They were using Laravel 4.2, in which case the advice was "run php artisan workbench vendor/package --resources"
Or
They were using Laravel 5, in which case the docs were completely useless
The official Laravel 5 docs give you plenty of sample code, saying things like:
All you need to do is tell Laravel where the views for a given namespace are located. For example, if your package is named "courier", you might add the following to your service provider's boot method:
public function boot()
{
$this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/path/to/views', 'courier');
}
This makes the assumption that you have a service provider to put a boot method in
Nothing in the docs says how to create a service provider in such a way that it will actually be loaded by Laravel.
I also found several different resources all of which assume you have a repository and you just want to include it in your app, or assume you have "workbench". Nothing about creating a new package entirely from scratch.
PHP Artisan did not even have a "workbench" command, and there was no "workbench.php" file in /config, so anything I found related to workbench was worthless. I started doing some research on Workbench and found several different questions on StackOverflow.
After a long time and some experimentation, I managed to get laravel/workbench into my composer.json, composer update, composer install, manually build a workbench.php config file, and finally use the PHP Artisan Workbench command to make a new package:
php artisan workbench Stevendesu/WorldDistance --resources
This created a directory: /workbench/stevendesu/world-distance with a number of sub-directories and only one file: /workbench/stevendesu/world-distance/src/Stevendesu/WorldDistance/WorldDistanceServiceProvider.php
This service provider class looked essentially identical to the file I created before, except that it was in the /workbench directory instead of the /vendor directory. I tried reloading the page and I still got the fatal error:
FatalErrorException in ProviderRepository.php line 150:
Class 'Stevendesu\WorldDistance\WorldDistanceServiceProvider' not found
I also tried php artisan vendor:publish. I don't really know what this command does and the description wasn't helpful, so maybe it would help? It didn't.
Question
How do I create a new service provider as a package so that in future projects I can simply include this package and have all the same functionality? Or rather, what did I do wrong so that the package I created isn't working?
After two days of playing with this I managed to find the solution. I had assumed that the directory structure mapped directly to the autoloader's path that it checked (e.g. attempting to access a class Stevendesu\WorldDistance\WorldDistanceServiceProvider would look in vendor/stevendesu/world-distance/WorldDistanceServiceProvider)... This isn't the case.
Reading through the composer source code to see how it actually loads the files, it builds a "classmap" - essentially a gigantic array mapping classes to their respective files. This file is built when you run composer update or composer install - and it will only be built correctly if composer knows the details of your package. That is - if your package is included in your project's composer.json file
I created a local git repository outside of my app then added my package to my app's composer.json file then ran composer update -- suddenly everything worked perfectly.
As for the:
It didn't install as easily as it should have
the secret sauce here was first add the service provider to /config/app.php then, second run php artisan vendor:publish
I've developed a small project on a machine, using CakePHP 3.0, and I need it to run on another machine. I've tried to install it on several other machines.
If I run the composer to install the CakePHP 3.0, then I copy my stuff to overwrite it, the project works. I've tried this on two machines and had no problem so far. If I don't run the composer, and just copy the stuff to the target machine, it gives me the following error. I've tried this on 3 machines, and every machine gives me this:
Fatal error: Class 'Locale' not found in /home/u113681897/public_html/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/I18n/I18n.php on line 229
Fatal error: Class 'Locale' not found in /home/u113681897/public_html/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/I18n/I18n.php on line 229
I've copied the whole project to this server to test.
I told you this because I thought it has something to do with my problem. The point is that I have to run this on a machine that is not mine, and I can't install composer on it. The /public_html/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/I18n/ has files related to internationalization and localization, but my project will never be translated, so a workaround to make the project ignore those files would be enough to solve my problem.
The following code is an excerpt from the (...)/I18n/I18n.php that might be relevant:
<?php
namespace Cake\I18n;
use Aura\Intl\FormatterLocator;
use Aura\Intl\PackageLocator;
use Aura\Intl\TranslatorFactory;
use Cake\I18n\Formatter\IcuFormatter;
use Cake\I18n\Formatter\SprintfFormatter;
use Locale;
class I18n {
// lots of code here
public static function defaultLocale() {
if (static::$_defaultLocale === null) {
static::$_defaultLocale = Locale::getDefault() ?: 'en_US';
// the line above is the Line 229
}
return static::$_defaultLocale;
}
// many code here too
}
I've checked that another file also tries to access this Locale class, but I don't know if there are other files trying to access it as well. Many files from everywhere inside the project tries to access methods from I18n.php. I need it running but I can't figure out how to make it run.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
As I just found out, prior to CakePHP 3.0, the installation must be done by composer, as stated in the 3.0 migration guide:
CakePHP should be installed with Composer
Since CakePHP can no longer easily be installed via PEAR, or in a shared
directory, those options are no longer supported. Instead you should use
Composer to install CakePHP into your application.
So it won't run on regular free web hosting services.
Please help me, I'm integrating QuickBook API into our script and I get the message below when i run file: http://domain.com/build_20130416/dev/dev_ids_invoices.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined method QuickBooks_IPP::application()
I'm using php script.
Please take the time to read the documentation and look at the example files in the docs/example_app_ipp_v3/ directory for the code you downloaded. Also, make sure you follow the quick-start guide. And next time, post your code.
If you look in the same dev/ directory for the code you're using, you'll see a file named:
DO_NOT_USE_THESE_FILES.txt
With the contents:
DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLES IN THIS FOLDER!
THESE ARE ALL DEVELOPMENT/TEST SCRIPTS, AND ARE NOT PRODUCTION READY!
You should not be using the example script you're trying to use just like the file says.
It's a development testing script, and not an example that you should be using.
Instead, you should look at the code in the docs directory, which has tons of working examples. Here's a link for you to the examples on GitHub:
