Describe how to use the library without composer

[bgaillard]

Several users encounter difficulties to use the library without composer :

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30570744/how-to-install-and-use-php-pushwoosh-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-linux-os-with-without-u
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28599212/yii-struggle-with-setting-pushwoosh-php-lib-through-composer
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30590074/is-it-required-to-include-any-files-from-gomoobphp-pushwooshto-to-run-a-php-pro

We should explain how to use the library without composer, a code sample will also help.

as requested:

if (isset($_GET['doit3'])) {
    require(dirname(__DIR__).'/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Client/Pushwoosh.php');

    print 'pushwoosh';
    try {
        $pushwoosh = Pushwoosh::create()
        ->setApplication('MY APP CODE HERE')
        ->setAuth('MY AUTH HERE');
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        print 'feck it';
        print $e->getMessage();
    }
    // Create a request for the '/createMessage' Web Service
    $request = CreateMessageRequest::create()
        ->addNotification(Notification::create()->setContent('Hello Jean !'));

    // Call the REST Web Service
    $response = $pushwoosh->createMessage($request);

    // Check if its ok
    if($response->isOk()) {
        print 'Great, my message has been sent !';
    } else {
        print 'Oops, the sent failed :-('; 
        print 'Status code : ' . $response->getStatusCode();
        print 'Status message : ' . $response->getStatusMessage();
    }
}

And my folder structure is like the attached screenie. I know i've done something silly, but its Friday!

Hi @corse-xx,

Here is a code sample which works without composer.

<?php 

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/ICURLClient.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/IPushwoosh.php';

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Client/CURLClient.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Client/Pushwoosh.php';

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/ADM.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/Android.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/BlackBerry.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/IOS.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/Mac.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/MinimizeLink.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/Notification.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/Platform.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/Safari.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/WNS.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Notification/WP.php';

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Request/CreateMessageRequest.php';

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Response/AbstractResponse.php';
require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Response/CreateMessageResponse.php';

use Gomoob\Pushwoosh\Client\Pushwoosh;
use Gomoob\Pushwoosh\Model\Request\CreateMessageRequest;
use Gomoob\Pushwoosh\Model\Notification\Notification;

// Configure the Pushwoosh client
$pushwoosh = Pushwoosh::create()->setApplication('MY APP CODE HERE')->setAuth('MY AUTH HERE');

// Create a request for the '/createMessage' Web Service
$request = CreateMessageRequest::create()->addNotification(Notification::create()->setContent('Hello Jean !'));

// Call the REST Web Service
$response = $pushwoosh->createMessage($request);

// Check if its ok
if($response->isOk()) {
    print 'Great, my message has been sent !';
} else {
    print 'Oops, the sent failed :-(';
    print 'Status code : ' . $response->getStatusCode();
    print 'Status message : ' . $response->getStatusMessage();
}

The best advice I can give you is ALWAYS USE COMPOSER IF YOU CAN ! : https://getcomposer.org.

Anyway others have the same problems so I think I'll simply create a script which produces an includes.php file to be able to only do that if we do not have composer :

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/includes.php';

...

Hiya and thank you for the quick response. I implemented that but its not executing either. If i put a quick print statement like print 'here'; in before the require_once statements and then execute then i get nothing, but if i remove from the use statement on and execute then i get the print statement. Something is definitely happening within the namespace that is not being pushed back.

Strange, I think you have an error elsewhere or a configuration problem, in my opinion php-pushwoosh is not the cause of your problem here, perhaps ...

• You made a mistake elsewhere
• You use a very old PHP version, namespaces and use statements are supported since PHP 5.3 (http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php). Our library is supported since PHP 5.3 (I cannot guaranty it is working with older PHP versions).

Also besides using print take the time to configure your PHP environment to write error logs inside a file, it will definitly help you.

I chucked the code up to a test server i have in the US to see if i got anything different (to be sure that PHP install wasn't causing an issue here) and eh voila i get an error message of:

Fatal error: Class 'Gomoob\Pushwoosh\Model\Response\CreateMessageResponseResponse' not found in /home/mypathtofiles/php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Response/CreateMessageResponse.php on line 40

:+1: Ok, so now check the file is their, check you have the right UNIX rights on your files and directories and you downloaded a not corruped zip https://github.com/gomoob/php-pushwoosh/archive/master.zip ;-).

[bgaillard]

Add do not forget to add this before the CreateMessageResponse.php require...

require_once 'php-pushwoosh-master/src/main/php/Gomoob/Pushwoosh/Model/Response/CreateMessageResponseResponse.php';

[corse-xx]

was just the declaration :) all working now so its the local php and i really need to go shout at my environment creator :p thank you Baptiste!

Closing this because no serious PHP developer should use PHP without composer (or at least if absolutly needed this is absolutly not the responsibility of php-pushwoosh).
