FAQ

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 ibmi-toolkit

IBMiToolkit

Build Status

For production systems please do not use the master branch. Instead use the latest stable release.

This project was originally hosted at https://code.google.com/p/zend-ibmi-tk-cw/ where older versions still reside. As of Mar. 3, 2014 it is now maintained here.

Introduction

This IBMiToolkit is a PHP-based front end to XMLSERVICE.

Zend Server

XMLSERVICE and the IBMiToolkit are already shipped with Zend Server. But being open source they can also be downloaded, installed, and upgraded separately.

Autoloading

Versions larger than 1.6 use a classmap (a way to map classes to files for easier finding) to perform autoloading so the user no longer needs to do it. Therefore the IBMiToolkit may be used standalone, or may be pulled into a projects using Composer.

NOTE: The installation methods below are for versions greater than 1.6. Prior versions did not use Composer.

  3. Install Composer (add composer.phar) to project location, along side the file composer.json, as outlined at https://getcomposer.org/download

  4. Run Composer install via terminal to gain classmap autoloading.
