curl -o barrister.php https://raw.github.com/coopernurse/barrister-php/master/barrister.php
To write a client:
<?php
include_once("barrister.php");
$barrister = new Barrister();
$client = $barrister->httpClient("http://example.org/service");
?>
To expose a service:
<?php
include_once("barrister.php");
// substitute your interface .json file here
// use the 'barrister' command line tool to produce the json file
// from your IDL
$server = new BarristerServer("calc.json");
// bind your implementation classes to interface names
$server->addHandler("Calculator", new Calculator());
// will parse the raw POST data, invoke the correct
// handler function, and send the result as JSON
$server->handleHTTP();
?>
This library was developed using PHP 5.3.8 (MacOS) and tested on PHP 5.2.4 (Linux). It uses the
json_decode and json_encode functions added in PHP 5.2.
The client code uses the PHP curl functions. Run: php -m | grep curl from the command line to
conform that your PHP install has curl availble. Alternately you can run: phpinfo() from a script.
If you are using a version of PHP older than 5.2, please download a JSON library that provides
json_decode and json_encode functions. Facebook put the PEAR JSON library on github here:
