This library enables developers to easily redirect users to different URLs, for the purpose of bucket testing. Bucket testing is also known as A/B testing or split testing.
This type of testing is used to test two or more versions of a webpage to determine which one performs better based on specfied key metrics, such as clicks, downloads, purchases or any other form of conversion.
- Random selection of buckets, with optional weights
- Automatic handling of temporary redirects
- Ability to retrieve bucket and manually handle URL redirection
- Easy to use fluent interface syntax
To install, just run the following composer command.
composer require rapidwebltd/php-bucket-testing
Remember to include the vendor/autoload.php file if your framework does not already do so.
use \RapidWeb\BucketTesting\BucketManager;
use \RapidWeb\BucketTesting\Bucket;
// Create a new bucket manager
$bucketManager = new BucketManager;
// Add buckets, with URLs and optional weights
$bucketManager->add(new Bucket('https://google.co.uk/'))->withWeight(25);
$bucketManager->add(new Bucket('https://php.net/'))->withWeight(75);
// Redirect to a randomly selected URL
$bucketManager->redirect();
// Or, if you wish, get a random bucket and manually handle the redirection
$bucket = $bucketManager->getRandomBucket();
header('location: '.$bucket->url);
