activeCollab API Wrapper is a set of PHP classes that make use of activeCollab API much easier, by providing object oriented interface to it.

Instead of making HTTP requests from your code and handling responses, wrapper layer lets you call simple set of methods and work with the result in form of native PHP types, such are arrays, objects, boolean values etc.

Could not get the API wrapper to work. Not sure why it uses the CLI version of cURL when PHP has cURL built in and most hosting companies prefer use of that library to anything else. At any rate, if it just used PHP’s curl and not the CLI it would probably work much better, but I wouldn’t recommend using this.

Hello Nick,

The whole point of the wrapper is to completely abstract communication. When everything’s properly configured, you don’t even notice whether request is made via command line tool or PHP extension. That’s the whole point – complete abstraction. Opting for whether to use PHP extension or command line utility is irrelevant, as long as the abstraction is good.

Still, if you prefer PHP extension to executing commands, you are free to change the code (this wrapper is free software released under LGPL).

Works well for me. Only thing I did on my own was add the option to output JSON. No big deal. I am using this as a helper within CodeIgniter so will provide some examples of use within CodeIgniter.
