Accessing vCD via PHP
This is how you use PHP to work with vCloud.
Getting ready
Download the PHP vCloud API for vCloud from http://www.vmware.com/go/vcloudsdkforphp.
I assume you will use PHP on Linux, so you might need a Linux VM with PHP libraries and the PHP base configuration. You probably need the HTTP_Request2 and Net_URL2 libraries.
Untar the download into the directory from where you would like to use the files. Place the new script in the main directory (vCloudPHP-5.1.2). You can move them; however, that requires you to reconfigure the pointer to the libraries.
If you are playing on a Windows environment, the base install might be different and you will need to follow the instructions that come with the Windows installer.
