Prerequisites

Installation

Quick Installation

  1. Add plivo/plivo-php as a dependency in your project’s composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "plivo/plivo-php": "v1.0.2"
    }
}

Installing any package via composer would add the dependecies into a sytem generated folder vendor. The path to this folder may vary. Make sure that you include the following line at the begining of your PHP file :
