Hi @mkhurramilyas,

This should definitely be possible. You can send requests to our Create Meeting and GET Meeting APIs from a PHP framework. These endpoints will return a start\_url and join\_url for the host and participants to start/join Zoom Meetings:

Here is an example of a request to create a meeting in PHP:

```auto
<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/meetings",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\"topic\":\"string\",\"type\":\"integer\",\"start_time\":\"string [date-time]\",\"duration\":\"integer\",\"schedule_for\":\"string\",\"timezone\":\"string\",\"password\":\"string\",\"agenda\":\"string\",\"recurrence\":{\"type\":\"integer\",\"repeat_interval\":\"integer\",\"weekly_days\":\"string\",\"monthly_day\":\"integer\",\"monthly_week\":\"integer\",\"monthly_week_day\":\"integer\",\"end_times\":\"integer\",\"end_date_time\":\"string [date-time]\"},\"settings\":{\"host_video\":\"boolean\",\"participant_video\":\"boolean\",\"cn_meeting\":\"boolean\",\"in_meeting\":\"boolean\",\"join_before_host\":\"boolean\",\"mute_upon_entry\":\"boolean\",\"watermark\":\"boolean\",\"use_pmi\":\"boolean\",\"approval_type\":\"integer\",\"registration_type\":\"integer\",\"audio\":\"string\",\"auto_recording\":\"string\",\"enforce_login\":\"boolean\",\"enforce_login_domains\":\"string\",\"alternative_hosts\":\"string\",\"global_dial_in_countries\":[\"string\"],\"registrants_email_notification\":\"boolean\"}}",
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    "authorization: Bearer {token}",
    "content-type: application/json"
  ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
  echo $response;
}

```

Regarding user access, users can join via the join\_url as guests (not required to enter email/login), as long as your meetings settings don’t require authentication.

I hope this helps!  
Will
