# Integrating DocuVieware in your PHP client application

> This guide focuses on integrating the DocuVieware control into a client application. Follow the [serving DocuVieware through a REST API](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/docuvieware/other-technologies/serving-docuvieware-through-a-rest-api.md) guide.

> Find the source code for both the REST service and integration examples in your `[INSTALL FOLDER]\Samples\ASP.NET\DocuVieware` folder.

## Prerequisite

DocuVieware only requires its own JavaScript and CSS files from your `[SDK INSTALL DIR]\Redist\DocuVieware (Resources)` folder. In the following examples, it’s assumed that they’re available locally.

```html

<script src="docuvieware-min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="docuvieware-min.css">

```

The last thing required is the complete and accurate URL your REST service is reachable at.

For this guide, it’s assumed that the service is locally running on the machine using port `62968`. The complete URL to the method is:

```text

http://localhost:62968/api/DocuViewareREST/GetDocuViewareControl

```

Your own implementation will mostly differ — especially the port that’s usually randomly selected upon project creation by Visual Studio. Adapt the URL to your configuration.

## Integration using PHP

Below is how to access the REST service using the PHP cURL library:

```php

session_start();
 header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$docuViewareConfig = array(
 'SessionId' => session_id(),
 'ControlId' => 'DocuVieware1',
 'AllowPrint' => true,
 'EnablePrintButton' => true,
 'AllowUpload' => true,
 'EnableFileUploadButton' => true,
 'CollapsedSnapIn' => true,
 'ShowAnnotationsSnapIn' => true,
 'EnableRotateButtons' => true,
 'EnableZoomButtons' => true,
 'EnablePageViewButtons' => true,
 'EnableMultipleThumbnailSelection' => true,
 'EnableMouseModeButtons' => true,
 'EnableFormFieldsEdition' => true,
 'EnableTwainAcquisitionButton' => true
 );
 $data_string = json_encode($docuViewareConfig);
$ch = curl_init('http://localhost:62968/api/DocuViewareREST/GetDocuViewareControl');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
 'Content-Type: application/json',
 'Content-Length: '. strlen($data_string))
 );
 $result = curl_exec($ch);
 if ($result === false) {
 $info = curl_getinfo($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
 die('Error occured during curl exec.: '. var_export($info));
 }
curl_close($ch);
 $docuViewareControlHtml = $result;

```

To integrate the resulting HTML markup in your client page, use the following code:

```php

$html = json_decode($docuViewareControlHtml);
print $html->{'HtmlContent'};

```
