1. Did you include the jsonRPCClient by composer?

// without composer this line can be used
// require_once 'path/to/your/rpcclient/jsonRPCClient.php';
// with composer support just add the autoloader
include_once 'vendor/autoload.php';


Otherwise you have to uncomment the "require_once" and set the correct path.
And comment the "vendor/autoload.php"

2. I think this line
Code:
$myJSONRPCClient = new \org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient(LS_BASEURL . '/admin/remotecontrol');
should be
Code:
$myJSONRPCClient = new \org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient(LS_BASEURL . '/index.php/admin/remotecontrol');

Try and echo this line to see if it is correct.

Here is a very simple example that will return the properties of survey in LS 3.x. In this case, the jsonRPCClient.php file resides in the same directory as the PHP script below.

Code:
<?php
 
  require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
 
  define( 'LS_BASEURL', 'http://pathTo/LimeSurvey');  
  define( 'LS_USER', 'admin' );
  define( 'LS_PASSWORD', 'password' );
 
  //$iSurveyID = $_GET['surveyID'];
  $iSurveyID = 885886;
 
 
  if(ctype_alnum($iSurveyID) &amp;&amp; (strlen($iSurveyID) == 5 || strlen($iSurveyID) == 6)) { // Valid SID format
 
    // Instantiate a new RPC client
    $myJSONRPCClient = new jsonRPCClient( LS_BASEURL.'/index.php/admin/remotecontrol' );
 
    // Get a session key
    $sSessionKey= $myJSONRPCClient->get_session_key( LS_USER, LS_PASSWORD );
 
    if(is_array($sSessionKey)) { // Invalid session
      echo $sSessionKey['status'];
    }
    else if($sSessionKey) { // Valid session
 
      $surveyProperties = $myJSONRPCClient->get_survey_properties($sSessionKey,  $iSurveyID);
 
      foreach($surveyProperties as $key => $value) {
        echo $key . ' => ' . $value . '<br />';
      }
    }
 
    // Release the session key
    $myJSONRPCClient->release_session_key( $sSessionKey );
  }
  else { // Invalid SID format
    die( 'Invalid format!' );
  }
 
?>
Cheers,

Thank you for your help. I forgot to mention that I did include the jsonRPCClient by composer.
Now I copied the file JsonRPCClient.php in the same directory.


My php file from where I do the calling is on my local computer with PHP 7.1
The limesurvey install is on a hosting with PHP 5.6. Can the error come from this setup?

I took the code from tpartner and changed the connexion values and added a var_dump.

Code:
<?php
 
require_once 'JsonRPCClient.php';
 
define('LS_BASEURL', 'https://www.fnak.fr/limesurvey');  // adjust this one to your actual LimeSurvey URL
define('LS_USER', 'user');
define('LS_PASSWORD', 'password');
 
//$iSurveyID = $_GET['surveyID'];
$iSurveyID = 616685;
 
echo '<pre>';
if (ctype_alnum($iSurveyID) &amp;&amp; (strlen($iSurveyID) == 5 || strlen($iSurveyID) == 6)) { // Valid SID format
    // Instantiate a new RPC client
    $myJSONRPCClient = new \org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient(LS_BASEURL . '/index.php/admin/remotecontrol');
    var_dump($myJSONRPCClient);
 
    // Get a session key
    $sSessionKey = $myJSONRPCClient->get_session_key(LS_USER, LS_PASSWORD);
 
    if (is_array($sSessionKey)) { // Invalid session
        echo $sSessionKey['status'];
    } elseif ($sSessionKey) { // Valid session
        $surveyProperties = $myJSONRPCClient->get_survey_properties($sSessionKey, $iSurveyID);
 
        foreach ($surveyProperties as $key => $value) {
            echo $key . ' => ' . $value . '<br />';
        }
    }
 
    // Release the session key
    $myJSONRPCClient->release_session_key($sSessionKey);
} else { // Invalid SID format
    die('Invalid format!');
}
echo '</pre>';


So the result is still the same

Code:
object(org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient)#1 (6) {
  ["debug":"org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient":private]=>
  bool(false)
  ["url":"org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient":private]=>
  string(60) "https://www.fnak.fr/limesurvey/index.php/admin/remotecontrol"
  ["id":"org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient":private]=>
  int(1)
  ["notification":"org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient":private]=>
  bool(false)
  ["enableCurl":"org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient":private]=>
  bool(true)
  ["proxy"]=>
  string(0) ""
}


I have to do the new like this:
Code:
new \org\jsonrpcphp\JsonRPCClient

Else if I do the new like this
Code:
new JsonRPCClient(...
I got a blank page. The JsonRPCClient.php from composer is recent and uses the namespace.


Any ideas?

Hi,
So I found out that it's because of the PHP version 5.6 of my hosting.
I installed Limesurvey locally on PHP 7.1 and this way the Json RPC is working fine.
