About

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.

The list of supported Office 365 REST APIs:

• SharePoint REST API (supported versions: SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2016, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business)
• Outlook REST API
  • Outlook Contacts REST API
  • Outlook Calendar REST API
  • Outlook Mail REST API

Status

Installation

PHP version

• PHP 5.4 or later

API

• 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 API
• OutlookClient - represents a client context to performs CRUD operations against Office resources such as Outlook resources
• ClientRequest - represents a client request (more low level compared to ClientContext) to to performs CRUD operations against SharePoint resources via SharePoint Online REST API
• AuthenticationContext - 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 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

Usage

Using SharePoint REST API

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();

Using Outlook REST API

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();
