A wrapper for the official Discord REST, gateway and voice APIs. Documentation is available here, albeit limited at the moment, as well as a class reference. Feel free to ask questions in the Discord server above.
For testing and stability it would be greatly appreciated if you were able to add our test bot to your server. We don't store any data - the bot simply idles and does not interact with anyone and is used to test stability with large numbers of guilds. You can invite the bot here.
Warning This branch contains an experimental feature, do not use it in production! See the wiki page for more information on how to set it up.
- Can I run DiscordPHP on a webserver (e.g. Apache, nginx)?
- No, DiscordPHP will only run in CLI. If you want to have an interface for your bot you can integrate react/http with your bot and run it through CLI.
- PHP is running out of memory?
- Try unlimit your PHP memory using
ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');.

Before you start using this Library, you need to know how PHP works, you need to know how Event Loops and Promises work. This is a fundamental requirement before you start. Without this knowledge, you will only suffer.
- PHP 8.0 or higher (latest version recommended)
- x86 (32-bit) PHP requires
ext-gmpenabled.
- x86 (32-bit) PHP requires
ext-jsonext-zlib
- One of
ext-uv(recommended),ext-evorext-eventfor a faster, and more performant event loop. ext-mbstringif handling non-latin characters.
- 64-bit PHP

Unfortunately PHP on Windows does not have access to the Windows Certificate Store. This is an issue because TLS gets used and as such certificate verification gets applied (turning this off is not an option).
You will notice this issue by your script exiting immediately after one loop turn without any errors.
As such users of this library need to download a Certificate Authority extract from the cURL website.
The path to the caextract must be set in the php.ini for openssl.cafile.
DiscordPHP is installed using Composer.

]);
$discord->on('ready', function (Discord $discord) {
echo "Bot is ready!", PHP_EOL;
// Listen for messages.
$discord->on(Event::MESSAGE_CREATE, function (Message $message, Discord $discord) {
