PHP 5 not PHP 5.3 needed for part 1 of instructions

[mjp337]

Great tool, but the directions indicate to "Download the Kaltura PHP 5.3+ API Client Library and extract into the /kaltura-client directory". But the 5.3+package from Kaltura does not contain the scripts referenced in this code (there's no file "KalturaClient.php, referenced in line 8). The correct files are located in the Kaltura PHP kit.

Hi @mjp337,

We have multiple PHP client libs and it can be quite confusing.. The client to use with this repo is: http://cdnbakmi.kaltura.com/content/clientlibs/php5_02-10-2017.tar.gz

This client can work with PHP >= 5.3.n and < 7.2.n. I imagine the client you tried to use is: http://cdnbakmi.kaltura.com/content/clientlibs/php53_02-10-2017.tar.gz

Which supports the same PHP versions but also utilises the namespaces feature, which was indeed introduced in PHP 5.3.0 and is hence sometimes referred to as 'php53'. That client has a diff directory structure, with diff file names and won't work out of the box with this repo.

We also have the ZF client, thus called because it follows the Zend Framework [ZF] coding styles.

Hope that explains it.

I also added a download link to the README. Hopefully, this will make things clearer:)
