This template experiment engine developed in PHP dequeues experiments submitted to an specific lab server and returns an experiment result string. The results shall be generated by your experiment logic and can be encoded using any schema.

Installation using Composer (https://getcomposer.org/) is supported.

Dowload or clone the source code with:

$ git clone https://github.com/OnlineLabs4All/PHP_Template_Engine.git

cd to the folder where the engine was downloaded and run

$ composer install

Composer will download and install the dependencies. In our case, the only dependency is a library (HTTPful - http://phphttpclient.com/).

Rename config.php.dist to config.php:

$ cp config.php.dist config.php

Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD and APIKEY with the engine's real credentials obtained from the Experiment Dispatcher.

$ php engine.php
