Basic concepts
Authentication
The first lines in your PHP code should be used to create the Webservices object.
We suggest using this method:
$this->ws = OKMWebServicesFactory::build(host, user, password);
<?php
include '../src/openkm/OpenKM.php';
use openkm\OKMWebServicesFactory;
use openkm\OpenKM;
use openkm\bean\AppVersion;
use Httpful\Exception\ConnectionErrorException;
use openkm\exception\AccessDeniedException;
use openkm\exception\PathNotFoundException;
use openkm\exception\RepositoryException;
use openkm\exception\DatabaseException;
use openkm\exception\UnknowException;
class Example {
    const HOST = "http://localhost:8080/OpenKM/";
    const USER = "okmAdmin";
    const PASSWORD = "admin";
    private $ws;
    public function __construct() {
        $this->ws = OKMWebServicesFactory::build(self::HOST, self::USER, self::PASSWORD);
    }
    public function testGetAppVersion() {
        try {            
            $appVersion = $this->ws->getAppVersion();
            var_dump($appVersion);
        } catch (AccessDeniedException $ade) {
            var_dump($ade);
        } catch (PathNotFoundException $pnfe) {
            var_dump($pnfe);
        } catch (RepositoryException $re) {
            var_dump($re);
        } catch (DatabaseException $de) {
            var_dump($de);
        } catch (UnknowException $ue) {
            var_dump($ue);
        } catch (ConnectionErrorException $cee) {
            var_dump($cee);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            var_dump($e);
        }
    }
}
$openkm = new OpenKM(); //autoload
$example = new Example();
$example->testGetAppVersion();
?>Also is possible doing the same from each API class implementation.
We do not suggest this way.
For example with this method:
$this->repository = new RepositoryImpl(self::HOST, self::USER, self::PASSWORD);
<?php
include '../src/openkm/OpenKM.php';
use openkm\impl\RepositoryImpl;
use openkm\OpenKM;
use openkm\bean\AppVersion;
use Httpful\Exception\ConnectionErrorException;
use openkm\exception\AccessDeniedException;
use openkm\exception\PathNotFoundException;
use openkm\exception\RepositoryException;
use openkm\exception\DatabaseException;
use openkm\exception\UnknowException;
class Test {
    const HOST = "http://localhost:8080/OpenKM/";
    const USER = "okmAdmin";
    const PASSWORD = "admin";
    private $repository;
    public function __construct() {
        $this->repository = new RepositoryImpl(self::HOST, self::USER, self::PASSWORD);
    }
    public function testGetAppVersion() {
        try {            
            $appVersion = $this->repository->getAppVersion();
            var_dump($appVersion);
        } catch (AccessDeniedException $ade) {
            var_dump($ade);
        } catch (PathNotFoundException $pnfe) {
            var_dump($pnfe);
        } catch (RepositoryException $re) {
            var_dump($re);
        } catch (DatabaseException $de) {
            var_dump($de);
        } catch (UnknowException $ue) {
            var_dump($ue);
        } catch (ConnectionErrorException $cee) {
            var_dump($cee);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            var_dump($e);
        }
    }
}
$openkm = new OpenKM(); //autoload
$test = new Test();
$test->testGetAppVersion();
?>Accessing API
OpenKM API classes are under com.openkm package, as can shown at this javadoc API summary.
At main url http://docs.openkm.com/javadoc/ you'll see all available javadoc documentation.
At the moment of writing this page the actual OpenKM version was 6.4.22 what can change on time.
There is a direct correspondence between the classes and methods into, implemented at com.openkm.api packages and available from SDK for PHP.
