Object-oriented PHP EPP Client.

Welcome to the "object-oriented EPP client in PHP" project.

This project supports the following:

• Full EPP 57xx RFC standard
• Extensible PHP objects to add registry-specific additions
• Rock-solid object-oriented programming, object inheritance and exception handling
• Interface tested and in use with a registrar that handles 600.000+ domain names
• Public/private key client certificates for connecting to EPP service (for example see Registries/IIS)
• Connection to EPP via HTTP/SSL (for example see Registries/Openprovider)
• DNSSEC transactions
• Registry sunrise, landrush and claims periods (draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase)
• TMCH/TMDB CNIS retrieval examples with standard ICANN registrar message

This code will provide you with a fully functional EPP client to connect to any registry world-wide that supports EPP. All code is organized in objects, so connecting to a new registry is just a matter of object re-use and extension. Sample registry connections are provided in the Registries directory.

Currently supported registries:

• SIDN (.nl)
• dotAmsterdam
• Donuts
• EurID (.eu)
• DNS Belgium (.be .vlaanderen .brussels)
• .CO.NL
• dotFRL
• IIS (.nu and .se)
• CarDNS (.hr)
• Metaregistrar
• Nic.AT (.at)
• Key Systems RRPPROXY
• .PT
• Switch (.ch)
• Openprovider
• Ficora (.fi)
• DNS.PT (.pt)
• Norid (.no)
• Arnes (.si)

All code changes are tested automatically with the phpunit tests in the Tests directory

Example scipts in the main directory:

How to use this repository

1. Check out the latest version from github. (Or composer require metaregistrar/php-epp-client)
2. Use the Examples/checkdomain.php and create a connection to your favorite registry (for example new Metaregistrar\EPP\metaregEppConnection()).
3. Create a settings.ini in with the following contents:

        interface=eppConnection
        hostname=ssl://eppltest1.metaregistrar.com
        port=7000
        userid=xxxxxxxx
        password=xxxxxxxxx
        certificatefile=/home/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx.pem
        certificatepassword=xxxxxxx

1. Now, checkdomain.php should be functioning and checking domains.

If you do not want to use settings.ini files in the Registries directory, you can create a connection as follows: $conn = Metaregistrar\EPP\eppConnection::create('path-to-settings.ini');

Or set all parameters individually:

$conn = Metaregistrar\EPP\eppConnection();
$conn->setHostname('ssl://eppltest1.metaregistrar.com'); // Hostname may vary depending on the registry selected
$conn->setPort(7000); // Port may vary depending on the registry selected
$conn->setUsername('xxxxxxxx');
$conn->setPassword('xxxxxxxxx');
