PHP Library

In order to use the PHP class on your website you will need the sslive_class.php, HMAC.php and sslive_include.php files.

To get started all you need to do is configure sslive_include.php with your ScreenSteps Live account information.

The ScreenSteps Live API can be accessed using an API key (how do I find my API key?) or the username/password for a Reader account (what is a Reader account?). By default the sslive_include.php file creates an instance of the SSLiveAPI object (1) and sets the credentials using an example Reader account on example.screenstepslive.com (2).

If you just want to test you can leave the example settings in place.

The sslive_api_php folder provides two folders with example code. The plain folder just displays content from ScreenSteps Live with minimal HTML formatting. When just getting started it will be easiest to read this code and become familiar with the SSLiveAPI object methods. The pretty folder is a little nicer on the eyes and includes styling from the screensteps.com website.

The next few screenshots show what you should see if you are using the example.screenstepslive.com settings and looking at the plain folder files. To begin open the spaces.php file.
