Why XAPlayer for PHP

  • Any PHP code

    Plain PHP, CodeIgniter, Yii, Symfony or anything else: all it takes is one HTTP request.

  • Download protection

    Video streams encrypted, and downloaded files won’t play without the student’s device key.

  • User name as watermark

    The name and phone you send move across the picture.

  • Only on your domain

    The player only appears on domains you list in the panel.

Three steps to secure playback

  1. Create an API key and add your domain.
  2. After checking the user’s access, get a token with curl.
  3. Put the returned URL in an iframe.

The full code, where it goes and how to test it are in the tutorial.

curl_setopt_array($ch, [
  CURLOPT_POST => true,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ['Authorization: Bearer ' . getenv('XAPLAYER_API_KEY'),
                         'Content-Type: application/json'],
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode([
    'courseId' => 'COURSE_ID',
    'viewer' => ['id' => (string) $userId, 'name' => $userName],
  ]),
]);
$url = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true)['url'];
