This code bundle is a LOT simpler than the bundle for the VSSCORM 1.2 RTE (Run-Time Environment) that I posted a couple of months ago. It consists of 2 files:
- subs.php which contains all of the code that does the parsing and analysis of the manifest file
- index.php which simply provides you with a way to run the code and display the output in a test environment
In other words, if you wanted to incorporate the code into a real system, you would only need the content of subs.php.
The system requirements for running this code are pretty simple – you just need to have PHP 5 or above (PHP 4 doesn’t support the DOM extension that I’m using to parse the XML manifest file).
To help you get started, I’ve also included the 2 sample manifest files that I’ve been using.

This series is excellent and gives a good understanding of how SCORM content talks to the IMS. I hope this latest addition will be developed to show how course data might be stored in the IMS database and perhaps how the files of the SCO can be uploaded.
