First, use PHP's curl library to send data to the OpenAI API and receive responses from the chatbot. Use the curl_setopt function to set options such as CURLOPT_URL, CURLOPT_POST, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT.
function generate_chatbot_response($prompt) {
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.openai.com/v1/completions");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(array(
"prompt" => $prompt,
"temperature" => 0.5,
"max_tokens" => 1024,
"n" => 1,
"stop" => "\n"
)));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY"));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$json = json_decode($response, true);
return $json["choices"][0]["text"];
}
Next, the API is used to process the request from the client and return the chatbot's answer. In this file, use $_POST to access the POST data, include user input in it, and then use json_encode to convert the response data to JSON format and send it back to the client.
header("Content-Type: application/json");
if ($_POST["prompt"]) {
$prompt = $_POST["prompt"];
$response = generate_chatbot_response($prompt);
echo json_encode(array("response" => $response));
}
Integrate this API file with other libraries and functions to create a chatbot that easily responds to user input. The server can be communicated using AJAX or WebSocket for real-time response.
