##PushUtility php library

PushUtility is a small library (CURRENTLY ALPHA RELEASE) for sending push notifications to iOS (trough Apple Push Notification Service) and Android (trough Google Cloud Messaging) device through php.

###How to use

Simply put PushUtility.php file in your project directory and call it with require from your project script;

after this you have to create an instance and do a little configuration of the object; here is an example:

    require 'PushUtility.php';
    
    $pushUtility = new PushUtility();
    
    //$apiKey is a string that contains your GCM api key for sending notification on android
    $pushUtility->setAndroidApiKey($apiKey);
    
    //this command is for set ios debug environment on APNs for iOS,
    $pushUtility->setIosDebugEnvironment();
    
    //if you are working in production environment, you have to use following command
    $pushUtility->setIosProductionEnvironment();
    
    //for iOS you have to load the APNs pem certificates on the server, and set this certificates on PushUtility with this commands
    $pushUtility->setIosPemDebugCertificate($iosPemDebugCertificatePath);
    //or, in production
    $pushUtility->setIosPemProductionCertificate($iosPemProductionCertificatePath);

and finally, after this configuration, you can send a push notification with:

    //platform can be 'ios' or 'android', all lowercase, id_client is the registration id of the client that receive the notification
    $pushUtility->send($title, $message, $platform, $id_client);

you can find how to generate ios pem certificates here in my case it doesn't works, i have to modify the command

     $ openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out PushChatKey.pem -in PushChatKey.p12

with:

        $ openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out PushChatKey.pem -in PushChatKey.p12 -nodes -nocerts

and it works!
