How to integrate iFlyChat with any PHP based website
Step 1: You can get the iFlyChat PHP library via a composer package called
iflychat-php. See https://packagist.org/packages/iflylabs/iflychat-php.1
$ composer require iflylabs/iflychat-php
Copied!
Or add to
composer.json:1
"require": {
2
iflylabs/iflychat-php": "^2.0"
3
}
Copied!
and then run
composer update.Or you can clone or download the library files.
Step 3: Use these credentials in your main php(index) file to create a new
iFlyChat instance.1
2
use Iflylabs\iFlyChat;
3
4
const APP_ID = 'YOUR_APP_ID';
5
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
6
7
$iflychat = new iFlyChat(APP_ID, API_KEY);
Copied!
Step 4(optional): In case, you want to create a user for the chat, you just need to call the
setUser() function with $user array as a parameter.Example.
1
$user = array(
2
'user_name' => 'testUser', // string(required)
3
'user_id' => '2', // string (required)
4
'is_admin' => FALSE, // boolean (optional)
5
'user_avatar_url' => 'user-avatar-link', // string (optional)
6
'user_profile_url' => 'user-profile-link', // string (optional)
7
);
8
9
$iflychat->setUser($user);
Copied!
Step 5: Now, you need to include iFlyChat HTML code in your website. As an example, check out
basic-example.php (inside iflychat-php/examples folder). To do so, add the following line of code before printing anything on the webpage:1
$iflychat_code = $iflychat->getHtmlCode();
Copied!
Step 6: Make sure to use the above code before printing any content via PHP, otherwise you will get an error. Next, use the following code anywhere in your PHP file (preferably before body tag ends) to render the chat:
1
<html>
2
<head>
3
</head>
4
<body>

<?php print $iflychat_code; ?>

<!-- iFlyChat Engine Code Ends -->
