PHP interaction with Selenium Webdriver API

##Description

This library allows the interaction with Selenium Server V2 in PHP. It communicates with the WebDriver API through the official JsonWireProtocol.

One of the goals is to provide a client usage as close as possible to the Selenium Official libraries (such as Java's, c#'s). Most methods are named as the same as of these libraries'. In this way, whenever a developer runs into ideas or documentation in Java Client, the same techniques can be implemented by using this library.

##Quickstart

• Start a session by creating an instance of WebDriver. By default, the test will run in firefox

    $driver = new WebDriver();
  

• As an alternative you can define desired capabilities for the session

    $desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities("chrome");
    $driver = new WebDriver($desiredCapabilities);
  

• Navigate by using the WebDriver::get method from the WebDriver Class

    $driver->get("www.nearsoft.com");
  

• Get elements from the DOM in current location

    $textbox1 = $driver->findElement(By::id("someTextBoxId"));
    
    $button1 = $driver->findElement(By::cssSelector("html body div#content input#someButtonId"));
  

• Manipulate located elements

    $textbox1->sendKeys("Some text to send");
    
    $textbox1->getAttribute("value");
    
    $button1->click();
  

• Find element within elements

    $modal1->findElement(By::id("someModalId"));
    $listItems = $modal1->findElements(By::tagName("li"));
  

• Switch between windows

    $driver->switchTo()->window("windowName");
  

• Manage alerts $alert = $driver->switchTo()->alert(); $alert->getText(); $alert->accept(); $alert->dismiss();

• Wait for elements to be present

    $webElement = $driver->waitForElementUntilIsPresent(By::id("someElementId"));
    
    //or
    
    $wait = new WebDriverWait(8);
    $webElement = $wait->until($driver,"findElement",array(By::id("someElementId"),true));
