Below is a sample of code for accessing the xAPI via PHP. I am using xPath and pear HTTP/REQUEST2. I am not a coder so ignore my slop.

First I define the login information and the xAPI path.
The code snippet is ax_main.php

Code:

<?php
//pear install HTTP_Request2
require 'HTTP/Request2.php';
//define username,password and host
$username = 'admin';
$password = 'a10';
$host="172.21.21.50";
//define the xAPI
define("AX_REST", "http://".$host."/services/rest/V1/");
?>

From there I have a ax_session_id.php. This is where we grab the session_id we will be using for the rest of the session.

Code:

<?php
$sid = 1;
function getSid()
{
require 'ax_main.php';
$args = array(
'method' => 'authenticate',
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password);
//http_build_query is only used here because I ran into a bug.
$url = AX_REST . "?" . http_build_query($args);
$Req = new HTTP_Request2();
$Req->setUrl($url);
$res = $Req->send();
$sid_xml= $res->getBody();
//echo $sid_xml;
$sid_local_scope = new SimpleXMLElement($sid_xml);
$sid = $sid_local_scope->xpath('//session_id');
//I am using globals because I am lazy.
$GLOBALS['sid'] = $sid[0];
}
getSid();
//echo $GLOBALS['sid'];
?>

Here is the bit of code to get the status of the vips

Code:

<?php
//require_once 'ax_main.php';
$vip = '';
function getVip_status()
{
include 'ax_session_id.php';
//getSid();
//I ran into a bug so I am not using http_build_query
$url = AX_REST . "?session_id=" .$GLOBALS['sid']."&method=slb.vip.getALL" ;
//echo $url;
$Req = new HTTP_Request2();
$Req->setUrl($url);
$res = $Req->send();
$vip_xml= $res->getBody();
//echo $vip_xml;
$vip_local_scope = new SimpleXMLElement($vip_xml);
$virtual = $vip_local_scope->xpath('//virtual-server');
foreach ($virtual as $list) {
if ($list->attributes()->status == 0) {
$vip_status = "<font color=\"black\">disabled</font>";
} elseif ($list->attributes()->status == 1) {
$vip_status = "<font color=\"green\">All Up</font>";
} elseif ($list->attributes()->status == 2) {
$vip_status = "<font color=\"yellow\">Part Up</font>";
} elseif ($list->attributes()->status == 3) {
$vip_status = "<font color=\"orange\">Func Up</font>";
} elseif ($list->attributes()->status == 4) {
$vip_status = "<font color=\"red\">Down</font>";
} else {
$vip_status = "<font color=\"blue\">Unknown</font>";
}
echo "VIP: ".$list->attributes()->name." Status: ". $vip_status."<br>";
}
}
getVip_status();
?>

Here is the code to get server status.

Code:

<?php
//get session ID
$server = '';
function getServer_status()
{
include 'ax_session_id.php';
//getSid();
$url = AX_REST . "?" . "session_id=" .$GLOBALS['sid']."&method=slb.server.getALL";
$Req = new HTTP_Request2();
$Req->setUrl($url);
$res = $Req->send();
$server_xml= $res->getBody();
//echo "server_xml = ".$server_xml."<br>";
$server_local_scope = new SimpleXMLElement($server_xml);
$server_list = $server_local_scope->xpath('//server');
foreach ($server_list as $list) {
if ($list->attributes()->status == 0) {
$server_status = "<font color=\"black\">disabled</font>";
} elseif ($list->attributes()->status == 1) {
$server_status = "<font color=\"green\">Up</font>";
} elseif ($list->attributes()->status == 4) {
$server_status = "<font color=\"red\">Down</font>";
} else {
$server_status = "<font color=\"blue\">Unknown</font>";
}
echo "Server Name: ".$list->attributes()->name." Status is: ". $server_status."<br>";
}
}
getServer_status();
?>

Enjoy!
