Getting Started: Pusher PHP - No Framework

A getting started example when using the Pusher PHP HTTP API library with no PHP framework.

This repo gives you the absolute basics required to get started. It doesn't provide you with full examples so should be used as a quick getting started template or a reference.

Examples

• How to trigger an event from your server
• Using Private Channels
• Using Presence Channels

Todo:

• Triggering the same event on multiple channels
• How to trigger an event from your client (client events)
• Querying application state
• How to receive and incoming WebHook

Installation

From the directory you've cloned into, install the example dependencies using Composer:

$ composer install

Create a .env file in the root directory of the examples and set up your Pusher application credentials:

PUSHER_APP_ID=<YOUR_APP_ID>
PUSHER_APP_KEY=<YOUR_APP_KEY>
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=<YOUR_APP_SECRET>

Run the examples

The command is expected to be run from the root directory of the examples:

$ php -S localhost:9000 -t src

Navigate to localhost:9000 (or the URL you choose to use) and take a look at the examples. View the JavaScript console for a log from the Pusher JavaScript library.

Deploy to Heroku

Make sure you've got the required environmental variables set up!
