FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package dhl-express-php-sdk
Unoffical DHL Express PHP SDK
This unoffical library is wrapping some functions of the DHL Express JSON/REST API (called MyDHL_API).
To get a SDK for standard DHL shipping, please have a look at the great SDK from Petschko i've used for inspiration.
Requirements
- test (and live) credentials from the DHL Express Tech Contact
- PHP-Version 5.5 or higher (It may work on older Versions, but I don't offer Support for these)
- Guzzle installed
Compatibility
This Project is written for the MyDHL API v1.
Install
You can use Composer to install the package to your project:
composer require alex-le/dhl-express-php-sdk

Usage
see examples for basic examples and scripts to generate test labels (see below)
Request Access to live API
To get the credentials for the live account, DHL requested test labels for some scenarios:
The test scripts can be found in the examples folder:
- National shipping with saturday delivery - test_1.php
- National shipping time option and 2 packages - test_2.php
- International shipping not liable to duty - test_3.php
- International shipping liable to duty - test_4.php
- International shipping liable to duty with service DDP - test_5.php
- International shipping liable to duty with different payment account - test_6.php
Things i've learned during testing the API
- The "InternationalDetail" part is mandatory even if its national package
- StreetName and StreetNumber in der Address don't have any effect right now, the "StreetLines" field is always used
- Company Name in the Recipient address is the name on the package (first line)
- Package Dimensions are mandatory, but they don't have to be exact (DHL will check them anyway) - so it is possible to always use the smallest package size you have
- "StreetLine" could not be used for any additional name - use "StreetLines2" for this - always use it for street name and number
More details will follow soon. This package is WIP.
