Sample Application Setup

Prerequisites

You can find a sample PHP website in the /wrappers/php/ directory of the Progress Telerik UI for PHP distribution. To run the website, copy this directory to your web root. Then navigate to index.php.

Configuration

To use Progress Telerik UI for PHP in your PHP website, follow the steps below:

Step 1 Copy /wrappers/php/lib/Kendo to your website root, e.g. to your lib directory.

Step 2 Copy the Kendo UI JavaScript and CSS files from /js and /styles to your website root. If you prefer to use Kendo UI CDN Service, skip this step and the following ones, and check the article on the jQuery dependency as well as the article on the export libraries dependencies.

Note that sinse R3 2022 the CDN distribution needs to be activated using a license file. For more info check Using Script License File.

Step 3 Include the Kendo UI JavaScript and CSS files in your PHP page.

    <link href="styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="styles/kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.0.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/kendo.web.min.js"></script>

Important

If you want to use Kendo UI widgets for the web, including the ones that render data visualization, at the same time, you should include kendo.all.min.js instead of kendo.web.min.js and kendo.dataviz.min.js. You can also create a custom JavaScript file by using the Custom Download Builder.

Step 4 Include the Kendo PHP Autoload file.

    <?php require_once 'lib/Kendo/Autoload.php'; ?>

Step 5 Use any Kendo UI PHP wrapper.

    <?php
    // Instantiate a new instance of the DatePicker class and specify its 'id'
    $datepicker = new \Kendo\UI\DatePicker('datepicker');

    // Configure the datepicker using the fluent API
    $datepicker->start('year')
               ->format('MMMM yyyy');

    // Output the datepicker HTML and JavaScript by echo-ing the result of the render method
    echo $datepicker->render();
    ?>

The example below demonstrates the complete source code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <link href="styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href="styles/kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.0.min.js"></script>
        <script src="js/kendo.web.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php require_once 'lib/Kendo/Autoload.php'; ?>
    <?php
    // Instantiate a new instance of the DatePicker class and specify its 'id'
    $datepicker = new \Kendo\UI\DatePicker('datepicker');

    // Configure the datepicker using the fluent API
    $datepicker->start('year')
               ->format('MMMM yyyy');

    // Output the datepicker HTML and JavaScript by echo-ing the result of the render method
