Hi,
I have to use Stripe webhooks (a Stripe listener that send events when a customer buys/proceed an operation on a product) to a php file on my website.
I decided to put this file, receiving Stripe webhooks, in my root folder.
The architecture of my project looks like this :
Considering this architecture, Stripe sends events to my webhook.php file.
In webhook.php I receive a message from the event then I check what is the type of the event (such as ‘customer.subscription.updated’ or ‘customer.subscription.deleted’).
Then on a switch case statement I handle these cases with functions I created like deleteSubscription() or updateSubscription().
But I need to access Yii’s functions to get my Stripe API key which I need to get from my database.
To be more precice I would need to do somthing like : $stripeApiKey = $Yii::$app->settings->get('common', 'StripeApiKey')
But I consequently get the error “Class ‘Yii’ not found in …/webhook.php”
And if I add “use Yii;” I get “Warning: The use statement with non-compound name ‘Yii’ has no effect in”.
So my question is, have you got an idea of the good way to use Yii::$app in my webhook.php file ?
i assume that webhook.php is the entrypoint (Bootstrap-File) of your App.
The Yii::$app Singleton is initialized on \yii\base\Application::__construct().
Therefore, you need to init an Yii-Application in order to use Yii::$app->foo.
Your webhook.php could look like this:
<?php
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', false);
defined('YII_ENV') or define('YII_ENV', 'prod');
// you have to adjust this paths!
require '../vendor/autoload.php';
require '../vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php';
// you have to adjust DB-Settings!
// you have to adjust basePath!
$config = [
'id' => 'stripeHooks',
'name' => 'stripe hook handler-app',
'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
'language' => 'en-EN',
'timeZone' => 'Europe/Berlin',
'components' => [
'db' => [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydatabase',
'username' => 'myuser',
'password' => '123-lol',
'charset' => 'utf8',
],
],
];
(new \yii\web\Application($config))->run();
The Application will now try to resolve a Request to a valid Controller.
You have to operate all Actions in your Controllers.
Hi @HenryVolkmer,
I actually already have an environment.php and a config.php file in my application directory.
The webhook.php file is used as an endpoint to stripe requests.
What I could do is put this file somewhere in my content/… directory but it would return me an http forbidden response.
Do I have to create another external app of the first one (as you did) and set another .env file to get my mysql parameters or do I have to handle it differently ?
I guess that maybe one way would be to move my webhook file into content and modify the .htaccess ?
Or maybe it has to do with a conflict between stripe and csrf tokens ?
