README

This tool is a PHP based client for a metric tracking server, which is currently in beta-testing stage.

Installation

Install via composer. In your composer.json file add to the requires section

"centralapps/tracker-client": "dev-master"

Run composer

php composer.phar update

Usage

$client = new \CentralApps\TrackerClient\Client(YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID, YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_METRIC_SERVER_URL);
$metric = new \CentralApps\TrackerClient\Metric();
$metric->typeReference = 'user';
$metric->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // date user added
$metric->reference = 1; // a unique reference for this "user"
$metric->tags = array('some', 'tag', 'pretend');

$client->logMetric($metric);

$metric = new \CentralApps\TrackerClient\Metric();
$metric->typeReference = 'user';
$metric->reference = 1;
$metric->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // if object exists, this becomes the updated date
$metric->tags = array('some', 'tag', 'pretend', 'paid', '50GBP');

$client->logMetric($metric);

$metric = new \CentralApps\TrackerClient\Metric();
$metric->typeReference = 'user';
$metric->reference = 1;
$metric->removed = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$metric->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // date the user was removed from site
$metric->tags = array('some', 'tag', 'pretend', 'paid', '50GBP', 'cancelled');

$client->logMetric($metric);

Notes

The client library binds itself with PHP's register_shutdown_function, so the outbound curl request will not interfere with your users requests.
