如何使用PHP连接bigCommerce API？

Question

I'm trying to connect to an API, I'm a front end dev, not too familiar with server side & php. Would love your help.

This is the repository - https://github.com/bigcommerce/bigcommerce-api-php I'm not using composer.

They say there -

To use the API client in your PHP code, ensure that you can access Bigcommerce\Api in your autoload path

I've been trying to figure out how to do that, but I just can't figure it out.

This is the code that i wrote -

 <?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: Alex
 * Date: 12/15/14
 * Time: 9:29 PM
 */
require '../bigcommerce.php';

//echo realpath('../bigcommerce/api/client');
use ֿֿBigcommerce\Api\Client as Bigcommerce;

Bigcommerce::configure(array(
    'store_url' => '', //my store url
    'username'  => 'admin',
    'api_key'   => '' //my api key
));
$ping = Bigcommerce::getTime();

if ($ping) echo $ping->format('H:i:s');

$products = Bigcommerce::getProducts();

foreach($products as $product) {
    echo $product->name;
    echo $product->price;
}
?>

I use:

spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {
    include  $class . '.php';
});

I'm sorry, but i'm finding it quite hard to explain the question. I need to include classes with autoload but it doesn't work, i have no idea why. It keeps telling me that failed to open stream.

If you are not using the composer method, you need to make sure you have a copy of bigcommerce.php on your server. That's the only file you need, you don't need to use autoload. Bigcommerce.php has all the classes in it already. You can simply copy and paste it from here: https://github.com/bigcommerce/bigcommerce-api-php/blob/master/bigcommerce.php

require '../bigcommerce.php'; says that the bigcommerce file is stored one directory higher than your working directory. Is this so? If you are using it in your current directory, then it should be require('./bigcommerce.php');

Other than that, your code appears correct.

If that doesn't work, run command: chmod 0644 ./bigcommerce.php on that file, to ensure correct permissions.
