Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The following comments apply to SharePoint Windows classic authentication.
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
// The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
// The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"
// Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
// for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

$http = new CkHttp();

// If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
// Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
$http->put_Login('SHAREPOINT_USERNAME');
$http->put_Password('SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD');
$http->put_LoginDomain('SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN');
$http->put_NtlmAuth(true);

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
// If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
// establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Indicate that we want a JSON reply
$http->put_Accept('application/json;odata=verbose');
$http->put_AcceptCharset('utf-8');

// If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Briefing 02032017')" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
$sbJson = new CkStringBuilder();
$success = $http->QuickGetSb('https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Briefing 02032017')',$sbJson);

    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";

$json->put_EmitCompact(false);

// To get the number of items in the folder:
$itemCount = $json->IntOf('d.ItemCount');
print 'Number of items: ' . $itemCount . "\n";

// The full JSON response looks like the following:
print $json->emit() . "\n";
