Couple of questions:
1) Why isn't the v8.0 PHP SDK (which I have access to as I work for a vCAN Service Provider) generally available to all? Surely the SDK can be just as useful to clients of MSP's using vCloud based services on vCD versions 5.6+ as to Service Providers? The only place I could find to download the v8.0 PHP SDK was under the 'vCloud Director for Service Providers' section of myvmware.com, but 'normal' users won't have access to this.
2) The installation/configuration instructions are lacking in certain important respects:
- They don't mention that the 'ServiceAbstract.php' file requires the PHP Pear/Log extension.
- They don't mention that Pear/Log needs to be configured by a 'Configuration.ini' file in the current directory, or specify the format/contents of this file.
- They don't mention that some functions require the PHP mbstring (multibyte character support) extension to work properly/at all.
I had to figure all of this out myself and create the relevant files - I've written up a blog post in case anyone else needs to do this: http://kiwicloud.ninja/2016/04/working-with-the-vcloud-api-and-php-sdk-part-1/
