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-govtalk

PHP GovTalk

A library for applications which interface with the UK Government Gateway

Build Status Latest Stable Version Total Downloads License

The GovTalk Message Envelope is a standard developed by the United Kingdom government as a means of encapsulating a range of government XML services in a single standard data format.

This project was originally forked from Fubra Limited. Only the GovTalk class is preserved in this library. This library can be used whenever you need to build something that interfaces with any of the services that use the Government Gateway (e.g. Companies House, HMRC, etc.).

Installation

The library can be installed via Composer. To install, simply add it to your composer.json file:

And run composer to update your dependencies:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ php composer.phar update

Library background

Big Give forked this library from JustinBusschau/php-govtalk in 2021, as that library's no longer maintained for active versions of PHP.

We don't offer support for the library, but plan to maintain it for the foreseeable future, with tests running against verions of PHP still receiving security support.

Charities running campaigns on our platform who are using our managed service to claim their Gift Aid can get in touch here.

Basic usage

This library can be extended and used with any one of the gateways that use the GovTalk Message Envelope and the Document Submission Protocol. The following libraries currently use / extend GovTalk:
