SlideShowPro Director

Getting started with the DirectorPHP class

Before beginning, please note that the DirectorPHP class requires PHP 5 with the cURL module enabled.

To begin, download the DirectorPHP class from the SlideShowPro Director extras page. Inside, you will find a simple example of how the DirectorPHP class can be used to connect and retrieve data and content from your Director installation. You may either edit this sample or start a new project from scratch.

File Structure
Above: File structure

To start a new project, copy the entire classes folder to your current working directory. Then create a new index.php file alongside the classes folder.

Open the index.php file in a code editor and begin a PHP code block. Replace your-api-key and your-api-path with the values you find on your System Info page in Director.

<?php
  include('classes/DirectorPHP.php');
  $director = new Director('your-api-key', 'your-api-path');

  echo('Connected!');
?>

The first line includes the DirectorPHP class and the second creates a new instance of that class using your API information to connect to your Director install.

Now load index.php in a browser. If you see Connected!, you've successfully connected to your Director install. If not, an error will appear explaining what went wrong and how to fix it.
