More information on RudderStack can be found here.

Getting Started with PHP SDK

Install rudder-php-sdk using composer

git clone https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-php-sdk /my/app/folders/

Initialize the Client

use Rudder\Rudder;

require_once realpath(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

Rudder::init(WRITE_KEY, array(
  "data_plane_url" => DATA_PLANE_URL,
  "consumer"       => "lib_curl",
  "debug"          => true,
  "max_queue_size" => 10000,
  "flush_at"     => 100
));

SDK Initialization options

Below parameters are optional and can be passed during SDK initialization.

Name	Type	Default value	Description
consumer	String	lib_curl	To explicitly mark which consumer to use.
data_plane_url	String	hosted.rudderlabs.com	The data plane URL.
debug	Boolean	false	Whether to log messages and wait for a response. Makes any queuing consumers non-async, defaults to false. This will make the library block until a response has been received from the API, so it is not recommended for production use.
ssl	Boolean	true	Whether to use SSL for the connection.
tls	String	false	Whether to use TLS instead of SSL for the socket connection.
error_handler	Function	function ($code, $message) {}	A handler which will be called on errors to aid in debugging. A function to handle errors, particularly useful for debugging. Note that if debug mode is not specified, then the error_handler will only be called on connection level errors and timeouts.
max_queue_size	Number	10000	The max number of items in the queue .
flush_at	Number	100	How many items to send in a single curl request .
timeout	Number	0.5	The number of seconds to wait for the socket request to time out .
filename	String	/tmp/analytics.log	The location to write the log file when file consumer is selected.
compress_request	Boolean	true	Whether to use gzipped request payloads. This is supported for server versions 1.4.0 and above.
flush_inteval	Number	10000	Frequency in milliseconds to send data using flush method execution.
curl_timeout	Number	0 (infinite)	Set timeout for the curl connections.
curl_connecttimeout	Number	300	Set connect timeout for the curl connections.
max_item_size_bytes	Number	32000	Set maximum message item size in bytes.
max_queue_size_bytes	Number	512000	Set maximum batch size in bytes.
filepermissions	Number	0644	Set the file permissions for file consumer.
