Examples

This example needs the RemoteAdmin PHP Class file available here.

<?php
 
// Including the RemoteAdmin PHP class.
include('RemoteAdmin.php');
 
// Instantiate the class with parameters identical to the Python example above
$myRemoteAdmin = new RemoteAdmin('127.0.0.1', 9000, 'secret');
 
// Invoke admin_authenticate_user (multiple parameters)
$parameters = array('user_firstname' => 'Kira', 'user_lastname' => 'Komarov', 
                    'user_password' => 'secret', 'token_lifetime' => '10');
$myRemoteAdmin->SendCommand('admin_authenticate_user', $parameters);

which sends the request to OpenSim and returns an XML structure documented in the following section.
