How to use parse-server with the PHP SDK ?

Hello!

I have a Parse server running and working well with my Swift code. Now, I would like to connect this MongoDB server to my PHP code. But I can't find any documentation on how to do that.

For the moment, I have this code :

ParseClient::initialize( $app_id, $rest_key, $master_key );

How to update it to add my server URL ?

Thanks!
Axel

This is without testing (as I haven't started migration testing yet), but I would imagine that it follows a similar line to the other platforms which would be to change the following in the ParseClient.php to point your server.

final class ParseClient { /** * Constant for the API Server Host Address. */ const HOST_NAME = 'https://api.parse.com';

@MarkCYoung Thanks for your answer.

That's what I did until now. I also set up the different keys on my parse-server but also in my PHP configuration file... And I always get the message "unauthorized" on all of my requests. Still trying to fix that, but I'm opened to your suggestions!

EDIT : My bad, forgot to restart my Parse server after setting the new keys. Now, I'm getting a new error "Bad Request", but I'm working on fixing it 👍

This is due to the default route for the parse-server residing on '/parse' where the Parse PHP SDK utilises '/1'. Refer to this line in ParseClient.php:24 const API_VERSION = '1';. Either change your route in your parse-server instantiation:

// Mount the Parse API server middleware to /1
app.use('/1', parseServer);

Or modify your ParseClient.php to use '/parse'.

I assume this will be fixed in the next release of the SDK.

I need to update the PHP SDK with a method for changing the server URL... I missed it.

@fraxool would you be willing to share your source code on how you got your swift code connected to your parse server?

Waiting for method to change server URL ... thanks !
Posted here this issue at PHP SDK.

Sorry for the late guys. I wrote a complete answer on StackOverflow to fix that :

@gfosco any updates to the php sdk you can push please?

So I did the sort of hack today and changed some values in ParseClient.php

const HOST_NAME = 'https://xxxxxx.herokuapp.com';

and

const API_VERSION = 'parse'; 

My app key, rest key and master key all match up whats on the server, and I'm able to do a CURL request to get the data im trying to in php, but every time I try it in php it returns "unauthorized"

I have checked my keys and restarted my parse server to make sure nothing silly was happening and since the CURL request worked I'm not sure what to do next.. any ideas?

Anyone have any ideas.. im pretty stuck from moving forward from my comment above ^^^

[occurrentarts]

that hack enabled me to read values from my parse-server, but the save() function doesn't seem to work in the current php sdk...

@occurrentarts what did you change to make this work.. I'm currently stuck on the php side of things :(

1. first i updated my parse php sdk to the newest
2. then i opened ParseClient.php and set the hostname equal to my server:
   const HOST_NAME = 'http://parseserver-bv###-env.elasticbeanstalk.com';
3. then i changed the API_Version key like so:
   const API_VERSION = 'parse';
4. then i opened ParseFile.php and added my file key to the path ( line 227? )
   $url = ParseClient::getAPIUrl().'files/my_file_key/'.$this->getName();
5. then i was hitting a 413 error whenever i tried to upload content above 1mb, so i followed this process to expand the limit on my parse-server:

finally i have object saving and image and audio uploads working with the PHP SDK.
