Laravel ACRCloud Package

NOT MAINTAINED

I'm not maintaining this repo. It needs a rewrite now that I understand Laravel better, but they haven't updated the PHP executable to be compatible with anyting higher than PHP 7.2 and doesn't seem like ACR cloud are going to at this point.

Installation

Compatibility

This package is using the ACRCloud php 7.2 executible. This requires Laravel 5.6 or greater

Composer

Add acrcloud_extr_tool.so

• Copy acrcloud_extr_tool.so file to your extensions directory. Found by viewing your php.ini and searching for : extension_dir
• Add extension=acrcloud_extr_tool.so to the bottom of php.ini
• Restart PHP
