Create Registration Notification Hub Azure PHP

Question

I'm trying to create registration using REST API NotificationHub AZURE from PHP API Microsoft

¿Anyone know how it's done?

Regards and thanks!

Answer 1

Generally speaking, there are 3 main steps required to access Notification Hubs REST endpoints:

1. Parse the connection string
2. Generate the authorization token
3. Perform the HTTP call

You can refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/notification-hubs-php-backend-how-to/ for more detail.

Meanwhile, you can directly use these PHP sample provided by Azure Team in your application, which can implement your requirements easily.

# build uri
    $uri = $this->endpoint . $this->hubPath . "/registrations" . NotificationHub::API_NEW_VERSION;
    $ch = curl_init();

    $token = $this->generateSasToken($uri);

    $headers = [
        'Authorization: '. $token,
        'Content-Type: application/xml',
        'x-ms-version: 2015-01'
    ];

    $request_body = self::requestBodyRegistration($device_type, $tagsOrTagExpression, $device_code );

    if( is_null( $request_body ) )
    {
        return null;
    }

    curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_URL => $uri,
        CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $headers,
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $request_body
    ));

    // Send the request
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    // Check for errors
    if($response === FALSE){
        throw new Exception(curl_error($ch));
    }

    $info = curl_getinfo($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

private function requestBodyRegistration($device_type, $tagsOrTagExpression, $device_code )
{
    switch ($device_type) {
