DHL PHP SDK

This unofficial library is wrapping some functions of the DHL SOAP API in order to easy create/delete shipments and labels.

Requirements

• You need a DHL developer Account and - as long as you want to use the API in production systems - a DHL Intraship Account.
• PHP-Version 5.4 or higher (It may work on older Versions, but I don't offer Support for these)
• PHP-SOAP-Client installed + enabled on your Server. More information on php.net

Installation

Composer

You can use Composer to install the package to your project:

composer require petschko/dhl-php-sdk

The classes are then added to the autoloader automatically.

Without Composer

If you can't use Composer (or don't want to), you can also use this SDK without it.

To initial this SDK, just require the _nonComposerLoader.php-File from the /includes/ directory.

require_once(__DIR__ . '/includes/_nonComposerLoader.php');

Compatibility

This Project is written for the DHL-SOAP-API Version 2 or higher.

API Version 3.0

This Project is currently not available for Version 3.0+, I plan to update it soon! Please don't send me any E-Mails about this! If you want to talk about Version 3.0, please use the Issue for it: #64

Use BETA for Version 3.0

You can still try out the dev-branch of this repo for Version 3:

composer require petschko/dhl-php-sdk:dev-dev

Version 1

Version 1 Methods are marked as deprecated and will removed soon. Please upgrade to the API-Version 2 as soon as possible.

Usage / Getting started

• Getting started (Just a quick guide how you have to use it)
• More examples soon

Please have a look at the examples Directory. There you can find how to use this SDK also with Code-Examples, else check the (Doxygen) Documentation for deeper knowledge.

Code Documentation

You find Code-Examples with explanations in the examples Directory. I also explain how it works.

You can find a Code-Reference here: (Doxygen) http://docs.petschko.org/dhl-php-sdk/index.html

Motivation

I had a lot of pain studying and programming the DHL SOAP API - just to wrap some bits in a lot of XML. There is a lot, but not very helpful, documentation to the API. So I decided to create some functions in an easy to use and understand library.

There is also a lot of old stuff in the Documentation, so that you can not sure if it is right...
