The library provides a Office 365 REST client for PHP applications. It allows to performs CRUD operations against Office 365 resources via an REST/OData based API.
- SharePoint REST API (supported versions: SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2016, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business)
- Outlook REST API
You can use Composer or simply Download the Release
The preferred method is via composer. Follow the installation instructions if you do not already have composer installed.
Once composer is installed, execute the following command in your project root to install this library:
composer require vgrem/php-spo:dev-master -n --no-progress
Finally, be sure to include the autoloader:
require_once '/path/to/your-project/vendor/autoload.php';
- PHP:cURL underlying library is used to perform HTTP requests
ClientContext
- represents a SharePoint client context to performs CRUD operations against SharePoint resources via SharePoint Online REST APIOutlookClient
- represents a client context to performs CRUD operations against Office resources such as Outlook resourcesClientRequest
- represents a client request (more low level compared toClientContext
) to to performs CRUD operations against SharePoint resources via SharePoint Online REST APIAuthenticationContext
- represents an object that provides credentials to access SharePoint Online resources.NetworkCredentialContext
- provides credentials for password-based authentication schemes such as Basic.
There are two approaches available to perform REST based queries:
- via
ClientRequest
class where you need to construct REST queries by specifying endpoint url, headers if required and payload (low level approach), see renameFolder.php for a more details - via
ClientContext
class where you target client object resources such as Web, ListItem and etc., see list_examples.php for a more details
The following examples demonstrates how to perform basic CRUD operations against SharePoint list item resources.
Example 1. How to read SharePoint list items
$authCtx = new AuthenticationContext($Url);
$authCtx->acquireTokenForUser($UserName,$Password); //authenticate
$ctx = new ClientContext($Url,$authCtx); //initialize REST client
$web = $ctx->getWeb();
$list = $web->getLists()->getByTitle($listTitle); //init List resource
$items = $list->getItems(); //prepare a query to retrieve from the
$ctx->load($items); //save a query to retrieve list items from the server
$ctx->executeQuery(); //submit query to SharePoint Online REST service
foreach( $items->getData() as $item ) {
print "Task: '{$item->Title}'\r\n";
}
Example 2. How to create SharePoint list item:
$listTitle = 'Tasks';
$list = $ctx->getWeb()->getLists()->getByTitle($listTitle);
$itemProperties = array('Title' => 'Order Approval', 'Body' => 'Order approval task','__metadata' => array('type' => 'SP.Data.TasksListItem'));
$item = $list->addItem($itemProperties);
$ctx->executeQuery();
print "Task '{$item->Title}' has been created.\r\n";
Example 3. How to delete a SharePoint list item:
$listTitle = 'Tasks';
$itemToDeleteId = 1;
$list = $ctx->getWeb()->getLists()->getByTitle($listTitle);
$listItem = $list->getItemById($itemToDeleteId);
$listItem->deleteObject();
$ctx->executeQuery();
Example 4. How to update SharePoint list item:
$listTitle = 'Tasks';
$itemToUpdateId = 1;
$list = $ctx->getWeb()->getLists()->getByTitle($listTitle);
$listItem = $list->getItemById($itemId);
$itemProperties = array('PercentComplete' => 1);
$listItem->update($itemProperties);
$ctx->executeQuery();
The following examples demonstrates how to read, create and send messages via Outlook Mail API.
Example 1. How to create a draft message
$authCtx = new NetworkCredentialContext($UserName,$Password); //using Basic Auth scheme (for v1 API only)
$ctx = new OutlookClient($authCtx); //initialize OutlookServices client
$message = $ctx->getMe()->getMessages()->createMessage(); //create a Message resource
//set Message properties
$message->Subject = "--subject--";
$message->Body = new ItemBody(BodyType::Text,"--Content goes here--");
$message->ToRecipients = array(
new Recipient(new EmailAddress("Jon Doe","jdoe@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"))
);
$ctx->executeQuery();
Example 2. How to get messages
$authCtx = new NetworkCredentialContext($UserName,$Password); //using Basic Auth scheme (for v1 API only)
$ctx = new OutlookClient($authCtx); //initialize OutlookServices client
$messages = $ctx->getMe()->getMessages();
$ctx->load($messages);
$ctx->executeQuery();
//print messages subjects
foreach ($messages->getData() as $curMessage){
print $curMessage->Subject;
}
Example 3. How to send a message
$authCtx = new NetworkCredentialContext($UserName,$Password); //using Basic Auth scheme (for v1 API only)
$ctx = new OutlookClient($authCtx); //initialize OutlookServices client
$message = $ctx->getMe()->getMessages()->createMessage(); //create a Message resource
//set Message properties
$message->Subject = "--subject--";
$message->Body = new ItemBody(BodyType::Text,"--Content goes here--");
$message->ToRecipients = array(
new Recipient(new EmailAddress("Jon Doe","jdoe@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"))
);
$ctx->getMe()->sendEmail($message,false); //send a Message
$ctx->executeQuery();
