eversign PHP SDK is the official PHP Wrapper around the eversign API.

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | phpphp composer.phar require eversign/eversign-php-sdk:~1.0or add it directly to your composer.json
{
"require": {
"eversign/eversign-php-sdk": "~1.0"
}
}require 'vendor/autoload.php';All eversign API requests are made using the Eversign\Client class, which contains all methods for creating, retrieving and saving documents. This class must be initialized with your API access key string. Where is my API access key?
Please also specify the ID of the eversign business you would like this API request to affect. Where is my Business ID?
$client = new Client("MY_API_KEY", $businessId);Using the getBusinesses() function all businesses on the eversign account will be fetched and listed along with their Business IDs.
$businesses = $client->getBusinesses();
echo $businesses[0]->getBusinessId();
$client->setSelectedBusiness($businesses[0]);If you know the businessId beforehand you can also set it with setSelectedBusinessById(businessId)
$client->setSelectedBusinessById(1337);To create a document based on an already created template you can use the class Eversign\DocumentTemplate. In order to identify which template should be used, please pass the template's ID into the setTemplateId("MY_TEMPLATE_ID") function.
Additionally, setTitle() and setMessage() can be used to set a title and message for the newly created document.
$documentTemplate = new DocumentTemplate();
$documentTemplate->setTemplateId("MY_TEMPLATE_ID");
$documentTemplate->setTitle("Form Test");
$documentTemplate->setMessage("Test Message");A template's signing and CC roles are filled just using the functions below. Each role is identified using the setRole() function, must carry a name and email address and is appended to the document using the appendSigner() function.
$signer = new Signer();
$signer->setRole("Testrole");
$signer->setName("John Doe");
$signer->setEmail("john.doe@eversign.com");
$documentTemplate->appendSigner($signer);Your document object can now be saved using the createDocumentFromTemplate() function. Once this function has been called successfully, your document is created and the signing process is started.
$newlyCreatedDocument = $client->createDocumentFromTemplate($documentTemplate);
$newlyCreatedDocument->getDocumentHash();A document is created by instantiating the Eversign\Document object and setting your preferred document properties. There is a series of set methods available used to specify options for your document. All available methods can be found inside our extensive Create Document Example.
$document = new Document();
$document->setTitle("My Title");
$document->setMessage("My Message");Signers are added to an existing document object by instantiating the Eversign\Signer object and appending each signer to the document object. Each signer object needs to come with a Signer ID, which is later used to assign fields to the respective signer. If no Signer ID is specified, the appendSigner() method will set a default incremented Signer ID. Each signer object also must contain a name and email address and is appended to the document using the appendSigner() method.
$signer = new Signer();
$signer->setId("1");
$signer->setName("John Doe");
$signer->setEmail("john.doe@eversign.com");
$document->appendSigner($signer);Recipients (CCs) are added by instantiating the Eversign\Recipient object and appending each recipient to the document object. Just like signers, recipients must carry a name and email address.
$recipient = new Recipient();
$recipient->setName("John Doe");
$recipient->setEmail("john.doe@eversign.com");
$document->appendRecipient($recipient);Files are added to a document by instantiating an Eversign\File object. The standard way of choosing a file to upload is appending the file's path using the setFilePath() method and then appending your file using the appendFile() method.
Uploading a file is mandatory without which the createDocument method will fail. As an alternative you may upload a blank PDF and add 'note' or 'text' field types.
$file = new File();
$file->setName("My File");
$file->setFilePath(getcwd() . "/file.pdf");
$document->appendFile($file);There is a number of fields that can be added to a document, each coming with different options and parameters. (View Full list of fields »)
A field is appended to the document using the appendFormField($signatureField, $fileIndex) method. The first function parameter is the field object, and the second parameter must contain the index of the file it should be added to. If your field should be placed onto the first uploaded file, set this parameter to 0. This parameter also default to 0.
Signature and Initials fields are required to be assigned to a specific signer. Fields are assigned to a signer by passing the Signer ID into the setSigner() function.
$signatureField = new SignatureField();
$signatureField->setFileIndex(0);
$signatureField->setPage(2);
$signatureField->setX(30);
$signatureField->setY(150);
$signatureField->setRequired(true);
$signatureField->setSigner("1");
$document->appendFormField($signatureField, $fileIndex);A full example containing instructions and methods for each available field type can be found here: Create Document Example
Available field types
Please find below all available field types:
| Field Type | Class |
|---|---|
| date_signed | Eversign\DateSignedField |
| signature | Eversign\SignatureField |
| initials | Eversign\InitialsField |
| note | Eversign\NoteField |
| text | Eversign\TextField |
| checkbox | Eversign\CheckboxField |
| radio | Eversign\RadioField |
| dropdown | Eversign\DropdownField |
| attachment | Eversign\AttachmentField |
A document is saved and sent out by passing the final document object into the createDocument method. The API will return the entire document object array in response.
$newDocument = $client->createDocument($document);
$newDocument->getDocumentHash();Class: Document
A document is loaded by passing its document hash into the getDocumentByHash() method.
$document = $client->getDocumentByHash("MY_HASH");Class: Client
A document can be downloaded either in its raw or in its final (completed) state. In both cases, the respective method must contain the document object and a path to save the PDF document to. When downloading a final document, you can choose to attach the document's Audit Trail by setting the third parameter to true.
$client->downloadFinalDocumentToPath($document, "final.pdf", $attachAuditTrail);
$client->downloadRawDocumentToPath($document, "raw.pdf");Class: Client
The Client class is also capable fo listing all available documents templates based on their status. Each method below returns an array of document objects.
$client->getAllDocuments();
$client->getCompletedDocuments();
$client->getDraftDocuments();
$client->getCanceledDocuments();
$client->getActionRequiredDocuments();
$client->getWaitingForOthersDocuments();
$client->getTemplates();
$client->getArchivedTemplates();
$client->getDraftTemplates();Class: Client
A document is cancelled or deleted using the methods below.
$client->deleteDocument($document);
$client->cancelDocument($document);Any feedback? Please feel free to contact our support team.
