After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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 php-gacx

Server-Side GA Content Experiments

While this is a standalone library, you might also be interested in the companion project for general server-side Google Analytics tracking: php-ga.

About

php-gacx is basically Google's cx/api.js in PHP: A server-side implementation that allows you to control and implement Content Experiments entirely on the server.

This is done by parsing experiment data to make use of GA's multi-armed bandit algorithm as well as programmatically modifying the "__utmx" and "__utmxx" cookies.

This does however depend on Google Analytics being used in the browser, see "Usage" below.

This library might become obsolete as soon as Google implements Content Experiments into their Measurement Protocol.

Requirements

Requires PHP 5.3+ as namespaces and closures are used. Has no other dependencies and can be used independantly from any framework or whatsoever environment.

Usage Example

All methods match the ones from the JS API, so using php-gacx is pretty straightforward if you've experience with cx/api.js:

In order to have the experiment data transferred to Google Analytics, you need to use Google Analytics on the client side either via the traditional ga.js or Google's new analytics.js (Universal Analytics).

ga.js will work out of the box, as it simply consider and include the "__utmx" cookie value when sending tracking data to Google Analytics.

analytics.js does sadly no longer consider the "__utmx" cookie. You will therefore have to tell it via Javascript which variation of an experiment has been chosen, and it's limited to one experiment per page. Example:

The advantage of using php-gacx here is still that you can choose the variation on the server-side while still making use of the multi-armed bandit algorithm considering the variation's different weights.
