[BETA] Maniaplanet Web Services SDK for PHP

[gouxim]

Edit: updated SDK & documentation available at http://code.google.com/p/maniaplanet-ws-sdk

Warning: this SDK is in BETA. We may change and break things. If you don't want to have to stay tuned and change stuff, please wait for the final version of the SDK to be released. Hopefully it will be very soon.

Hey fellow coders,

We are releasing the Maniaplanet Web Services SDK for PHP. It lets you very easilly integrate API calls in your applications. It also comes with ManiaConnect support.

You can download the SDK here: http://code.google.com/p/maniaplanet-ws ... loads/list

Requirements

• PHP 5.3 or newer
• CURL extension http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php
• JSON extension http://php.net/manual/en/book.json.php
• You must be able to make HTTPS requests on ws.maniaplanet.com

Simple example

For those familiar with the TrackMania Web Services SDK, not much has changed:

Code: Select all

<?php

require_once '/path/to/autoload.php';

$players = new \Maniaplanet\WebServices\Players('your_api_username', 'your_api_password');
$players->get('gouxim');

?>

Bugs

You are more than welcome to report bugs
You can post here, or even better, use the bug tracker on the projects' page http://code.google.com/p/maniaplanet-ws-sdk/issues/list

Work in progress

This is obviously a work in progress. Not all services are plugged on the API, and the SDK is not complete yet. However you can find in the /example folder in the SDK some examples for both the basic API and the ManiaConnect feature.

Hello.
Is there a way to use ManiaConnect without PHP 5.3?
Because i host the files on a root, and the hoster must update php.
So I can't do that and i become errors like:

Code: Select all

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in line 19
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in line 19

This is line 19:
 $trackmania = new \Maniaplanet\WebServices\ManiaConnect\Player(API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD);

Here are the same Errors:
catch(\Maniaplanet\WebServices\Exception $e)

Is there a way to change the code there?
Please, i must get the Informations from the players and i can't change my hoster at that time.
And addplayerid is not aviable anymore -.-'

greez, ManuueL

sorry for my bad English

Is there a way to use ManiaConnect without PHP 5.3?

No. The SDK is fully written in PHP 5.3. If you're really confortable with PHP you could try to rewrite the SDK in 5.2, or you can find a hoster which provides 5.3

[ManuueL]

Okay, thank you for the answer.

I'm not so good in PHP to rewrite it from 5.3 to 5.2.
At the moment i don't understand the new thinks in 5.3.

So i think i have to wait some Months for the update from my hoster, and my Manialink goes online without all functions.
and when somebody writes me a Mail, or writes in the Guestbook his name is "Anonymus"

You should edit the "player.php" example
In line 25 it says that:

Code: Select all

echo "Enter a Maniaplanet Forever login:\n";

shouldn't you remove that "forever"?

[w1lla]

also the while loop should be removed as reported here:

I'll release an update on Monday

[Chris92]

Any update here?

Once connected with ManiaConnect, when calling :

$trackmania->logout();
header('Location: '.$logoutURL);

we actually get the maniaplanet sign-in page., which is bad as the user just wanted to logout and not to logon again... without a way to back to original site !

It should just register the logout then redo a location to the original page.

(i did not checked, but it is probably the same for trackmania webservices ?)
