Installation

How to install library to existing project using Composer

Since, our repository are public package we listed this repository on Packagist, that's mean we don't need to instruct Composer about which GitHub repository to look for inorder to find the package.

As project dependency

• Install library using the following commands:

cd /path-to-app/
composer require graftype/speedtest-php

By updating composer.json file of your project

• Open file named as composer.json in project folder /path-to-app/

• Add following content to this file:

{
    "require": {
        // ---
        // Other packages
        // ---
        "graftype/speedtest-php": "^1.0"
    }
}

• After that install library using the following commands:

cd /path-to-app/
composer update

• /path-to-app/ project folder with existing composer.json file

Regular Usage

Minimal code

Code:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$speedtest = new Graftype\Speedtest\Speedtest();
$speedtest->getServers();
$speedtest->getBestServer();
$speedtest->download();
$speedtest->upload();

$results = $speedtest->results();

print_r($results);

Output:

Graftype\Speedtest\Result Object
(
    [latency:protected] => 4.57
    [download:protected] => 47888585.578516
    [upload:protected] => 64841042.860629
    [bytesReceived:protected] => 59881235
    [bytesSent:protected] => 82579808
)

Units:

• latency = ms
• download / upload = bits/s
• bytesReceived / bytesSent = bytes

With progress callback

Code:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$config = new Graftype\Speedtest\Config();
$config->setCallback(function ($results) { print_r($results); });

$speedtest = new Graftype\Speedtest\Speedtest($config);
$speedtest->getServers();
$speedtest->getBestServer();
$speedtest->download();

Output:

Graftype\Speedtest\Result Object
(
    [latency:protected] => 4.40
    [download:protected] => 0
    [upload:protected] =>
    [bytesReceived:protected] => 0
    [bytesSent:protected] => 0
)

// More dump was here ...

```console
Graftype\Speedtest\Result Object
(
    [latency:protected] => 4.40
    [download:protected] => 27519752.835724
    [upload:protected] =>
    [bytesReceived:protected] => 37153149
    [bytesSent:protected] => 0
)

Units:

• latency = ms
• download / upload = bits/s
• bytesReceived / bytesSent = bytes

We are showing here only first and last callback results from the download method.
