The PHP native API uses a socket connection to directly connect to an open and functioning QM API socket.
This single PHP script file can be dropped in on any PHP compatible web server and allow developer to use a series of function calls to access a QM Database with all the functionality that the QMClient API allows.
It is currently in the developing Alpha stages:
Make sure you have followed the QM Client Server setup guide

- Diccon 09:15, 25 June 2013 Gene kindly moved the code storage over to GIT. PHP API lib is now stored for download there. Again it still works well with ScarletDME and probably will work with modern Commercial QM if the protocol hasn't changed.

Warning Active bug found, i believe username padding is not working, some odd length usernames may cause a QMERROR 3000 for line 902, when trying to write to $LOGINS. I'm working on it.
How to use
Download from the GIT repo from below.
Place this file in the same directory as the file that intends to use it, or place it in the library path for your PHP configuration.
In your php code Enter the following line at the top
include "PHPQMLib.php"
The first you need to call the connect function, something like this;
qmconnect("my.qm.server.com", "4243", "testuser", "testpass", "QMTESTACCOUNT");
or
qmconnect("192.168.1.1", "4243", "testuser", "testpass", "QMTESTACC");
You can now use the variety of PHPQM functions like qmread(), qmdelete(), etc as you wish. When you are done, for tidiness issue a;
qmdisconnect();
command, tidlying closing the socket.
Each page/script will need to (re)connect. Connection persistence and pooling is a bit bigger than this simple lib for now.
Check out qmLastClause() QMPHPClient function to cater for commands hitting ELSE, LOCKED, etc conditions
Generally you can follow the QMClient docs in terms of server functionality. Using the below defines() as what is and is not implemented. Better PHP specific docs will be written later, when we go Beta
