GCM with PHP (Google Cloud Messaging)

Question

Update: GCM is deprecated, use FCM

How can I integrate the new Google Cloud Messaging in a PHP backend?

Answer 1

You can use this PHP library available on packagist:

https://github.com/CoreProc/gcm-php

After installing it you can do this:

$gcmClient = new GcmClient('your-gcm-api-key-here');

$message = new Message($gcmClient);

$message->addRegistrationId('xxxxxxxxxx');
$message->setData([
    'title' => 'Sample Push Notification',
    'message' => 'This is a test push notification using Google Cloud Messaging'
]);

try {

    $response = $message->send();

    // The send() method returns a Response object
    print_r($response);

} catch (Exception $exception) {

    echo 'uh-oh: ' . $exception->getMessage();

}
