Using PHP with Orbited

This tutorial will demonstrate how to download the PHP client API for Orbited.

Prerequisites

Orbited

This tutorial assumes you have already installed Orbited. If you haven’t then check out the tutorial on Installing Orbited.

PHP-Orbited

PHP-Orbited is a PHP implementation of the client-side orbit protocol, ported from Python by Michael Zaic. This Orbited client can be downloaded: wiki:Download:php-orbited.php. Right-click on the link and select “save as” to save the file to an empty directory.

Usage

Because there is not interactive shell for PHP, it is difficult to mirror the Ruby and Python tutorials in PHP. We recommend you try one of those, to get a feel for Orbited’s client API and interaction with the browser. A version of the simple cherrychat demo application has been ported to PHP, and is located here.
