Elephpone

This application is a Proof of Concept for the usage of Tropo online phone services and a nice gimmick for the PHP Community.

How to get started?

First make sure you clone ElePHPone on GitHub into your local working environment.

git clone git@github.com:elephpone/elephpone.git

We're using Composer to manage our dependend packages, so make sure you have it installed. The following will install a local copy of Composer.

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer|php

Once you have composer, make sure you install the required packages

php composer.phar install

Composer will install Zend Framework 2, the framework used for this application and the dependend packages for this framework.

Once this is completed, launch the build-in PHP webserver on your preferred port.

php -S 0.0.0.0:9876 -t public/ public/index.php

And surf to http://localhost:9876 to see the app running.

Get a random quote

To get a random quote, you can use curl (or any other REST client) to test your app.

curl -i http://localhost:9876/call

This will return

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Host: localhost:9876
Connection: close
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.31
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{"quote":{"tropo":{"say":{"value":"http:\/\/blob.phpdev.nu\/elephpone\/thijs_feryn.mp3"}}}}

Of course, since it's a random quote, the link to the quote audio might be different.
