Built in webserver with php 5.3

[aoberoi]

The built-in webserver that the run-demo script uses depends on php 5.4 or above. No worries though! You can still run the demo using production PHP webservers like apache and nginx.

Here are some instructions that to set it up, that apply here because the demos use the Slim framework: http://docs.slimframework.com/#Route-URL-Rewriting

The document root will be the samples/HelloWorld/web directory. For example if you are using Apache, you'll need to copy the example .htaccess file into the document root directory and set up the virtual host (if you use the example make sure you set the DocumentRoot and Directory correctly).

Thanks but what about API Key and API Secret ?

[aoberoi]

good point, i forgot about that. most production web servers are usually running as a different user with a daemon so setting the environment variables (as the run-demo script does now) is not the best way.

i suggest instead making some modifications to the source directly:

• remove the check for the environment variables be deleting these lines:

  OpenTok-PHP-SDK/sample/HelloWorld/web/index.php

  Lines 21 to 24 in ea2d9ea

  	// Verify that the API Key and API Secret are defined
  	if (!(getenv('API_KEY') && getenv('API_SECRET'))) {
  	die('You must define an API_KEY and API_SECRET in the run-demo file');
  	}

• substitute your own values as the parameters in this line:

  OpenTok-PHP-SDK/sample/HelloWorld/web/index.php

  Line 38 in ea2d9ea

  return new OpenTok(getenv('API_KEY'), getenv('API_SECRET'));

• substitute again for your API Key in this line:

  OpenTok-PHP-SDK/sample/HelloWorld/web/index.php

  Line 41 in ea2d9ea

  $app->apiKey = getenv('API_KEY');

let me know how that works for you 😄

That has been done, it works for me.
