## Integration
### Composer
The PHP SDK is available for a download via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
Packagist - [Package Repository](https://packagist.org/packages/fiskaly/fiskaly-sdk-php).
Simply execute this command from the shell in your project directory:
```bash
$ composer require fiskaly/fiskaly-sdk-php
```
Or you can manually add the package to your `composer.json` file:
```json
"require": {
"fiskaly/fiskaly-sdk-php": "*"
}
```
then run
```bash
$ composer install
```
Finally, be sure to include the autoloader in your code:
```php
getVersion();
echo "Version: ", $version, "\n\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
exit($e);
}
```
Another way to create FiskalyClient object is using `context` string.
You can get it via `getContext` method and save it in memory via $_SESSION variable
or persistent in cache or database.
```php
4,
'debug_file' => __DIR__ . '../../fiskaly.log',
'client_timeout' => 5000,
'smaers_timeout' => 2000,
);
$config = $client->configure($config_params);
echo "Configuration: ", $config, "\n\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
exit($e);
}
