Alfresco PHP Library Available

[rwetherall]

Hi,

We are pleased to announce that the pre-beta version of the Alfresco PHP library and examples is now available for download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=166939&release_id=364585.

This library is by no means complete and over the coming months we aim to flesh it out to cover the full breath of the web service capabilities available via the Alfresco web service API.

For now the Alfresco PHP library should give you a taste of where we are going and what can be achieved using PHP and Alfresco.

Any feedback or contributions you feel you can make to this project will be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Roy

Hi,
Can you please describe the purpose of the PHP library? What can we do with it?
Is it for accessing Alfresco repository from within a PHP application?

(Sorry if there is a document describing this, if so, please provide the link)

Hi Turgay,

The PHP library uses web services to access the Alfresco repository and allows PHP programmers to access an Alfresco repository.

In version 1.1.2 there are a number of Alfresco web service which provide the core services (repository, content, authoring …).  I am currently working on the next next set of web services for the 1.2 release (actions, rules, access control, dictionary, admin, …).

It is our vision that eventually all of the Alfresco services will be available via a web service interface and thus to languages like PHP.

As well as the PHP client web service stubs for the Alfresco web services, the PHP library also provides a number of 'wrapping' objects that try to abstract some the difficulties of working with a web service stub, thus providing a more intuitive PHP API.

The PHP library is still work in progress, but it does include a working UI example that can browse the repository in a similar way to the main web client.

Hope this helps,
Roy
