Mbuzz PHP SDK

Multi-touch attribution SDK for PHP. Framework-agnostic design with optional adapters for Laravel, Symfony, and other frameworks.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• ext-curl
• ext-json

Installation

composer require mbuzz/mbuzz-php

Quick Start

<?php

use Mbuzz\Mbuzz;

// Initialize the SDK (typically in your bootstrap/config)
Mbuzz::init([
    'api_key' => $_ENV['MBUZZ_API_KEY'],
    'debug' => true, // optional, logs API requests
]);

// Initialize from request (reads cookies, captures context)
// Call this early in your request lifecycle, before output
Mbuzz::initFromRequest();

// Track events
Mbuzz::event('page_view', ['url' => 'https://example.com/products']);
Mbuzz::event('add_to_cart', ['product_id' => 'SKU-123', 'price' => 49.99]);

// Track conversions
Mbuzz::conversion('purchase', [
    'revenue' => 99.99,
    'properties' => ['order_id' => 'ORD-123'],
]);

// Acquisition conversion (marks signup as first touchpoint)
Mbuzz::conversion('signup', [
    'user_id' => $user->id,
    'is_acquisition' => true,
]);

// Recurring revenue (inherits attribution from acquisition)
Mbuzz::conversion('payment', [
    'user_id' => $user->id,
    'revenue' => 49.00,
    'inherit_acquisition' => true,
]);

// Identify user (link visitor to known user)
Mbuzz::identify($user->id, [
    'email' => $user->email,
    'name' => $user->name,
    'plan' => 'pro',
]);

// Access current IDs
$visitorId = Mbuzz::visitorId();
$userId = Mbuzz::userId();

Configuration Options

Mbuzz::init([
    'api_key' => 'sk_live_...',           // Required: Your Mbuzz API key
    'api_url' => 'https://api.mbuzz.co/api/v1', // Optional: API URL (for self-hosted)
    'enabled' => true,                      // Optional: Enable/disable tracking
    'debug' => false,                       // Optional: Log API requests
    'timeout' => 5,                         // Optional: HTTP timeout in seconds
    'skip_paths' => ['/admin'],             // Optional: Additional paths to skip
    'skip_extensions' => ['.pdf'],          // Optional: Additional extensions to skip
]);

Framework Integration

Plain PHP

<?php
// index.php or bootstrap.php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Mbuzz\Mbuzz;

Mbuzz::init(['api_key' => $_ENV['MBUZZ_API_KEY']]);
Mbuzz::initFromRequest();

// Your application code...

Laravel

// config/app.php - The service provider auto-registers via composer

// config/mbuzz.php (publish with: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=mbuzz-config)
return [
    'api_key' => env('MBUZZ_API_KEY'),
    'enabled' => env('MBUZZ_ENABLED', true),
    'debug' => env('MBUZZ_DEBUG', false),
];

// app/Http/Kernel.php
protected $middleware = [
    // ...
    \Mbuzz\Adapter\LaravelMiddleware::class,
];

Symfony

<?php
// config/services.yaml
services:
    Mbuzz\Adapter\SymfonySubscriber:
        tags: ['kernel.event_subscriber']

// src/Kernel.php or config/packages/mbuzz.php
use Mbuzz\Mbuzz;

Mbuzz::init([
    'api_key' => $_ENV['MBUZZ_API_KEY'],
]);

The SymfonySubscriber automatically initializes tracking on each request by listening to the kernel.request event with high priority.

Slim / PSR-15 Frameworks

<?php

use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;
use Mbuzz\Mbuzz;
use Mbuzz\Middleware\TrackingMiddleware;

$app = AppFactory::create();

Mbuzz::init(['api_key' => $_ENV['MBUZZ_API_KEY']]);
$app->add(new TrackingMiddleware());

$app->run();

API Reference

Mbuzz::init(array $options)

Initialize the SDK. Must be called before any tracking methods.

Mbuzz::initFromRequest()

Initialize context from the current HTTP request. Reads visitor cookie, captures IP and user agent for server-side session resolution.

Mbuzz::event(string $eventType, array $properties = [])

Track an event. Returns result array with event_id on success, false on failure.

Mbuzz::conversion(string $conversionType, array $options = [])

Track a conversion. Options:

• revenue (float): Conversion value
• user_id (string): User ID
• is_acquisition (bool): Mark as acquisition conversion
• inherit_acquisition (bool): Inherit attribution from acquisition
• properties (array): Custom properties

Returns result array with conversion_id on success, false on failure.

Mbuzz::identify(string|int $userId, array $traits = [])

Link the current visitor to a known user. Returns true on success.

Mbuzz::visitorId(), Mbuzz::userId()

Get current tracking IDs.

Mbuzz::reset()

Reset SDK state. Useful for testing or long-running processes.

Cookie Behavior

The SDK sets one cookie:

• _mbuzz_vid: Visitor ID (2-year expiry)

The cookie is:

• HttpOnly (not accessible via JavaScript)
• SameSite=Lax
• Secure (on HTTPS connections)

Session resolution is handled server-side using IP and user agent for device fingerprinting.
