We’re using CakePHP framework and we find it easy to integrate Basecamp to our app. Using CakePHP’s Httpsocket and XML, it was indeed a heads-up.

Edvin: I actually stopped development a long time ago. Basecamp doesn’t really seem interested in further developing their API (which is very disappointing), so I stopped caring to really do much with the API, as it is quite limiting. They’ll also admit that some of the API responses vary in format as well, making a nice class more difficult to create.

Guillermo,

The class uses cURL, so you will need it if you want to use it. I hope you can find it useful!

Hi Josh,
It’s great to see that you have classes for PHP to use Basecamp. My company uses Basecamp at a regular basis and there is some functionality that we want to take advantage of that Basecamp doesn’t provide.

So we are going to be using the Basecamp Api with PHP. And I have a few questions for you.

Our server currently has XAMPP installed. Using your class will make most of my work easier. Do I need to install PHP/cURL? Or a better question will be: Do you suggest I install cURL?

I saw some of your scripts in the Basecamp Forums and they use curl, but it might seem that your classes does not.

BTW.: I’m looking forward on the Time tracking class on your to-dos .

Thanks

Hi i’ve used your wrapper class successfully on a local xampp server, but when i move over to the live server i’m getting a String could not be parsed as XML error. I think it’s the configuration apache/php but no idea what. SimpleXMLElement is enabled and i noticed some comments about the encoding, but no joy. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Josh,

Here is one more for you. Is there a way to get all projects associated with a person, or all people associated with a project?

Thanks!!!!

I don’t know why but for me doesn’t work. i’ve try to post a message and a to do but nothing happens.
/// sending email to basecamp
$bc = new Basecamp(‘https://blabla.projectpath.com','username','pass‘);
$bc->set_project_id(487676); // required
$bc->set_category_id(74543345); // required
$bc->set_is_private(0); // optional – (0) or don’t set it for non-private
$bc->post_message(‘New design’,'some text’);
// Resource ID (integer) for any message, to-do list, or milestone
$bc->set_resource_id(435345534);
// Resource Type [posts|milestones|todo_items]
$bc->set_resource(‘todo_items’);
$bc->post_comment(‘TITLE’,'MESSAGE’);
i’ve downloaded the * @version 1.11 where is the mistake?

Josh,

Great work on this. Thanks a ton!

Curious if you’ve heard anything back from 37Signals on the XML response from Messages, etc… Seems odd that they don’t return anything.

I’m working on something with your class so was really hoping to have 1.2 but it looks like I’ll have to go use the curl request reply method you mentioned as this work is due end of week.

Just wanted to encourage you. I really appreciate what you’re doing. Ever need help, let me know

George,

Thanks for the comment. That stuff is going to be complete fixed and not an issue with the release of 1.2 – which I hope will be released sometime next week. Thanks!
