@debug420, your code is wrong. Learn how to execute and debug. Also Discord docs.
Here is fully working code.

Hmm still doesnt seem to work. And I apologize, I don't use php and I'm just trying to get this to work so I can move on.
I tried hosting it too on Awardspace.com but with no luck. Any clue as to why this is occuring?
(I copied the entire code you sent and just replaced the url with my webhook)

Can you not send discord webhook requests with 000webhost? I wrote my own code and it didn't work so I came to this and this doesn't work either. It just keeps returning the webhook data you would get with a GET request, but it's not sending any data.

Just to clarify, this code works as it should work.
I'm only wondering is it possible to send reactions with this?

Discord documentation.

Works flawlessly. Thanks a lot!

Hey i have a problem, my code run in linux but not in my IIS website.
when i display $response on my IIS server it returns false. I don't know why. My two servers are in https.
EDIT: I have var_dump($json_date) is everything is fine I do not understand
Thanks

@nschwaller most likely you need to install curl extension. Read your server error logs.

i have curl in my iis server...

edit: mb this my error :

You might not have it installed.

Works brilliantly. Is it possible to send a direct message to a user using a variant of this? (Not mentioning a user, but actually private messaging them)

You would need to use a discord bot to do that. (see discord.php)

Apologies if it is blatantly obvious, but where is the discord.php?

I just created a package for this.

How do you do embeds? Your documentation does not cover them.

You are right, actually we don't have documentation. I will prepare :)

You can use like that;

$messageFactory = new MessageFactory();
$message= $messageFactory->create('embed');

I tried to use it with fields and it just wouldn't work. I ended up going with my own solution.

    [
        'name' => 'Field 1',
        'value' => 'Value 1',
        'inline' => true
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'Field 2',
        'value' => 'Value 2',
        'inline' => false
    ]
]);

$webhook = new DiscordWebhook($embedMessage);
$webhook->setWebhookUrl("YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL");;
$res = $webhook->send();

I tested in my end and it is working. Feel free to mail me the issue. This is the example that I tested.
