Integrate Alfresco PHP code in existing community website

[abhishek_mahesh]

Hello,

I am a web developer and work in PHP domain. I am working on a social networking/community website. We want to integrate Alfresco open source in this website. I went through at the alfresco website and with all docs but not getting what steps I should follow for integrating alfresco document management system in my website. I have downloaded an exe file as this site suggested (522 MB) and after installation, it created a system and opens a localhost url on browser. Same look and feel, I can see at https://my.alfresco.com/share.

I have also downloaded the PHP-SDK from code.google.com but not sure how could I use it ? I also noticed that Alfresco site says that Its unsupported for PHP, as per the link http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/PHP_SDK . I am not getting what they way to say here.

What is the use of API of Alfresco ? I mean Where can I create/get the API ?

I am confused that how could I integrate Alfresco in existing community live website ? as alfresco says that Its an open source then How can I use it please ?

Please anyone can clarify this step by step or can share some exact link. Many thanks in advance.

Regards
Abhishek

Alfresco provides various "document management" functions that are useful for building websites.       You can access those functions through one of the APIs and you have selected the PHP one since that's what you are familiar with.

First work out what you want to use alfresco for.   Or what you are mean by "integrate Alfresco in existing community live website" then you can work out your next steps.
