How to Add an AI Chatbot to a PHP Website

PHP powers the majority of the web. Adding a Tuqlas AI chatbot to any PHP site is as simple as echoing a script tag in your layout — no packages, no backend integration required.

01

Create a chatbot on Tuqlas

Sign up at tuqlas.com, create a chatbot, and copy your embed key.

02

Add the script to your layout

In your shared layout or footer partial, add the Tuqlas script tag before the closing </body> tag.

03

Reload

The chat widget appears on every page that includes your layout. No server-side changes needed.

layout.php
<!-- layout.php — before </body> -->
<script
  src="https://tuqlas.com/chatbot.js"
  data-key="<?= htmlspecialchars($embedKey) ?>"
  defer
></script>
</body>
</html>
💡 Tip

Store your embed key in an environment variable or config file and output it with htmlspecialchars to keep things clean and safe.
