[oslc-cm] First bits of an OSLC-CM V1 client in PHP

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

FYI, I have added the first bits of an OSLC-CM client written in PHP to
a tool (formerly known as gforge-cli) that used to provide an CLI tool
for GForge's SOAP API.

It generally allows to manipulate the forge trackers (among other
artifacts available in the tools hosted on the forge) using
command-line... helpful to add comments to bugs, script actions, etc.

I "forked" a version (that should be named as planetforge-cli [1]), in
order to add it other backends, like an OSLC-CM REST client for all
OSLC-CM compatible trackers (targetting FusionForge and Codendi's some
time soon, as well as MantisBt).

Below is a log of the kind of output that we get.

It's very dirty PHP code for the moment, but somehow demonstrates how to
connect to our OSLC-CM REST server addon for MantisBt, using Zend
framework and the PHP ARC library to develop a PHP client.

Everything is Open Source licensed, and the code is available in public
repositories for the curious ones [0].

Comments and/or questions welcome :-)
