Firebase connection with codeigniter in php
Solution 1
You can use this library https://github.com/eelkevdbos/firebase-php
Codeigniter Firebase Library
- Install kreait/firebase-php package with Composer.
composer require kreait/firebase-php ^4.18
- Edit file
application/config/autoload.php
replace this following line.
...
$autoload['libraries'] = array('firebase');
...
$autoload['config'] = array('firebase');
...
-
Goto Firebase Console navigate to Project settings -> Service accounts in the Firebase Admin SDK tab, click to the "Generate new private key" button then click "Generate key" to download .json file and save as to
application/config
folder in the project. -
Copy your .json file name from step 3. replace it to
application/config/firebase.php
file in the$config['filebase_app_key]
array like this.
$config['firebase_app_key'] = __DIR__ . '/../config/your-app-firebase-adminsdk-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx.json';
- Now. You can use firebase library in the Controller file like this.
$this->load->library('firebase');
$firebase = $this->firebase->init();
$db = $firebase->getDatabase();

Solution 2
You can use FireBase in your project by using https://github.com/eelkevdbos/firebase-php
use Firebase\Firebase;
$fb = Firebase::initialize(YOUR_FIREBASE_URL, YOUR_FIREBASE_SECRET);
//or set your own implementation of the ClientInterface as second parameter of the regular constructor
$fb = new Firebase([ 'base_url' => YOUR_FIREBASE_BASE_URL, 'token' => YOUR_FIREBASE_SECRET ], new GuzzleHttp\Client());
//retrieve a node
$nodeGetContent = $fb->get('/node/path');
//set the content of a node
$nodeSetContent = $fb->set('/node/path', array('data' => 'toset'));
//update the content of a node
$nodeUpdateContent = $fb->update('/node/path', array('data' => 'toupdate'));
//delete a node
$nodeDeleteContent = $fb->delete('/node/path');
//push a new item to a node
$nodePushContent = $fb->push('/node/path', array('name' => 'item on list'));
