Installation of PHP SDK

Installation of PHP SDK

The PageSense PHP SDK empowers developers to integrate, run, and analyze Full Stack A/B tests directly from their PHP applications. It offers a simple, secure, and reliable way to connect your PHP applications to the PageSense’s experimentation platform, allowing you to evaluate variations, personalize user experiences, and track conversions in real time.

What the PHP SDK allows you to do  

  • Add A/B Test experimentation to your PHP application with minimal setup.

  • Handle all the communication with the PageSense REST APIs securely using HTTPS.

  • Automatically fetch and cache project settings to keep the experiments in sync.

  • Capture and send visit and goal events (engagements, conversions, interactions) instantly.

  • Store and use the user attributes for audience targeting and report segmentation.

How it works  

PageSense PHP SDK acts as a lightweight communication layer between your PHP application and PageSense’s FullStack experimentation platform. Once initialized, it can:

  • Fetch all active experiments associated with your project.

  • Determine which variation should be served for each user or session.

  • Track visits and conversions and send the real-time metrics back to PageSense for analysis.

This ensures that your server logic stays consistent with your PageSense experiment setup and that experiment results reflect real-world usage accurately.
