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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package searchengine-and-social-list

These are community-contributed definitions for search engine and social network detections list maintained and used by Matomo (formerly Piwik), the leading open source web analytics platform.

Social Networks

Social networks are defined in YAML format in the file Socials.yml

The definitions contain the name of the social network, as well as a list of one or more urls.

Search Engines

Search engines are defined in YAML format in the file SearchEngines.yml

Definitions of search engines contain several parameters that are required to be able to detect which search engine and which search keywords are included in a given url.

Those parameters are:

For each search engine (name) it is possible to define multiple configurations. Each configuration needs to include one or more urls, one or more parameters/regexes and may include a backlink and one or more charsets.

Configuration parameters

urls

Each configuration needs to contain one ore more urls. Please only define the hostname. You can use {} as a placeholder for country shortcodes in subdomains or tld.

Notes:

params

Each configuration needs to contain one or more params. A param is a name of a request param that might be available in the url. As many search engines do not use query parameters to handle the keywords, but include them in the url structure, it is also possible to define a regex. A regex need to be encapsulated by '/'

The example above would first try to get the keyword with the request param q. If that is not available it would use the regex '/search\/[^\/]+\/(.*)/' to get it. This regex would match an url like 'http://searchengine.com/search/web/matomo'

backlink

A backlink will be used to generate a link back to the search engine including the given keyword. backlinks may be defined per configuration and need to include {k} as placeholder for the keyword.

For the configuration above the generated backlink would look like searchengine.com/search?q=matomo (assuming that matomo is the keyword).

Note:

The backlink will always be generated using the first defined url in this configuration block.

hiddenkeyword

More and more search engines started to hide keywords in referrers for privacy reasons. hiddenkeyword allows to define if the search engines refers from paths that may not contain/provide a keyword. If a search engine always refers from the path /do/search that path should be added. If the path might vary regexes can be added with strings, starting and ending with /, e.g. /\/search[0-9]*/

NOTE: The path matched against will also include the referrers query string and hash. So if the referrer might contain a query you might use a regex like /search(\?.*)?/

The configuration above would allow an empty keyword for searchengine.com, searchengine.com/ and searchengine.com/search

charsets

Charsets can be defined if search engines are using charsets other than UTF-8. The provided charset will be used to convert any detected search keyword to UTF-8.

Simple definition

A simple defintion of a search eninge might look like this:

The example above would match for the hosts searchengine.com and search-engine.org and use the request parameters q and as_q (in this order) to detect the search keyword.

Multiple configurations

A simple definition of a search engine with multiple configurations might look like this:

The definition above would again match for the hosts searchengine.com and search-engine.org. However the request parameter q will be used specifically for search-engine.org while the request parameter as_q will be used specifically for searchengine.com.

Complete definition

A complete definition (including all optionals) of a search engine might look like this:

In this case, a backlink and charset is only defined for the first configuration. Which means there is no backlink nor charset set for search-engine.org.
