Welcome to the SWORDAPP PHP client library!
-------------------------------------------
Version: 1.0

The SWORDAPP PHP client library is a PHP library designed to assist with the
creation of SWORD deposit tools. The client library allows PHP code to easily
make use of the two SWORD functions:

 - GETting a Service Document
 - POSTing a file into a repository

The library was originally written by Stuart Lewis ([email protected]) as
part of the JISC funded SWORD2 project. Limited support for the library is
availble via the sword-app-tech email list:

 - https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sword-app-tech


Licence
-------
The library is licenced with the New BSD Licence. See the file LICENCE in the
distribution directory.


SWORD Compatibility
-------------------
This version of the library is compatible with SWORD version 1.3


Prerequisites
-------------
This library requires:

 - PHP version 5
    + CURL extension
    + SimpleXML extension
    + ZIP extension (for the packager only)

To test the library run the following from the command line to request a 
service document and deposit a package:

 - php test-swordappclient.php

 In order to use this test script you will need a username and password for a
 SWORD repository. If you don't have one, you can sign up for one at
 http://dspace.swordapp.org/jspui/register Once you have done so, enter your
 email address and password in to the test-swordappclient.php script.

 The library also comes with a packager to convert a file and metadata into
 a package (zip file) containing the metadata encoded in METS and SWAP along
 with the file.

You can create a test deposit package by running:

 - php test-packager-mets_swap.php


How to use the library
----------------------
The easiest way to understand the library is to look at the 
test-swordappclient.php file which exercises all the functions and variables of
the library. 

The two main methods of use are from swordappclient.php:

 - function servicedocument(url, username, password, on-behalf-of-user)
 - function deposit(url, username, password, on-behalf-of-user, filename,
                   [format_namespace, package_type, noop, verbose]) 

The functions return a SWORDAPPServiceDocument, a SWORDAPPEntry or a 
SWORDAPPErrorDocument object as appropriate. These classes can then be 
interogated (e.g. $servicedocument->sac_workspaces).


Examples
--------
Example SWORD applications are included in the examples directory:

 - examples/imap-email/ An example client that reads emails from an IMAP
   mail folder, and deposits them using SWORD.
