gRPC in 3 minutes (PHP)

PREREQUISITES

This requires php >=5.5, phpize, pecl, phpunit

INSTALL

• Install the gRPC PHP extension

sh $ [sudo] pecl install grpc

• Clone this repository

sh $ git clone -b $(curl -L https://grpc.io/release) https://github.com/grpc/grpc

• Install composer

$ cd examples/php $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ php composer.phar install

TRY IT!

• Run the server

Please follow the instruction in Node to run the server
$ cd examples/node $ npm install $ cd dynamic_codegen or cd static_codegen $ node greeter_server.js

• Generate proto files and run the client

$ cd examples/php $ ./greeter_proto_gen.sh $ ./run_greeter_client.sh

NOTE

This directory has a copy of helloworld.proto because it currently depends on
some Protocol Buffer 2.0 syntax. There is no proto3 support for PHP yet.
