# PHP Chat Client 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 . ```bash $ composer require iflylabs/iflychat-php ``` Or add to `composer.json`: ``` "require": { iflylabs/iflychat-php": "^2.0" } ``` and then run `composer update`. Or you can clone or download the library files. **We recommend you** to [use composer](https://getcomposer.org/). **Step 2:** Generate **APP ID** and **API Key** from [iflychat.com](https://v2.iflychat.com/dashboard) and copy them. **Step 3:** Use these credentials in your main php(index) file to create a new `iFlyChat` instance. ```php use Iflylabs\iFlyChat; const APP_ID = 'YOUR_APP_ID'; const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'; $iflychat = new iFlyChat(APP_ID, API_KEY); ``` **Step 4(optional):** In case, you want to create a user for the chat, you just need to call the `setUser()` function with `$user` array as a parameter. Example. ```php $user = array( 'user_name' => 'testUser', // string(required) 'user_id' => '2', // string (required) 'is_admin' => FALSE, // boolean (optional) 'user_avatar_url' => 'user-avatar-link', // string (optional) 'user_profile_url' => 'user-profile-link', // string (optional) ); $iflychat->setUser($user); ``` **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: ```php $iflychat_code = $iflychat->getHtmlCode(); ``` **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: ```markup
