In this article, I'll show you how to connect/join with BigBlueButton using PHP. I'm going to use the bigbluebutton-api-php library in this case. This library is very simple to use and has excellent support.
1) The first step is to install the bigbluebutton-api-php library. You must have composer installed on your system. Now, in your local development environment, create a directory and navigate to it using terminal or cmd to run:
composer require littleredbutton/bigbluebutton-api-php
This will install bigbluebutton-api-php along with all necessary packages. If you do not want to use composer, you can download the most recent library as a zip file from our MynaParrot github repo. After downloading, unzip the file and place it in a directory. At that point, you'll need to modify the include path to match your file structure.
