Setting up the Application
Create a configuration file for your application:
cp config.example.php config.php
Edit config.php
with your Twilio credentials.
Next, we'll need to install the Twilio Helper library via Composer.
composer install
If composer install
fails ensure that you have added it correctly to your path by following the instructions on Composer.
Now we should be all set! Run the application using the php -S
command.
php -S 127.0.0.1:3000
Visit http://localhost:3000 to ensure the server is running.
Up and running
This web application needs to be accessbile on the public internet in order to receive webhook requests from Twilio. Ngrok is a great options for getting this done quickly.
Once you have the application running locally, in a separate terminal window, make your server available to the public internet with the following:
ngrok http 3000
You should see a dynamically generated public Ngrok URL in the command window. Ngrok will now tunnel all HTTP traffic directed at this URL to your local machine at port 3000.
Test the app
Test your app by opening the {YOUR_SERVER_URL}/accessToken.php
endpoint in your browser. Use the publicly accessible domain on ngrok. You should see a long string. This is an Access Token. You can examine its contents by pasting it into a JWT tool like jwt.io.
