This package provides PHP OpenStack bindings.
You can use this library to:
- Authenticate your application to OpenStack.
- Interact with Object Storage (aka Swift).
Coming soon:
- Intect with the Compute (Nova) manager.
- Interact with other OpenStack services
- PHP 5.3
- An active OpenStack account with the desired services.
- Enable the cURL extension for full protocol support.
We also have support for using PHP's native HTTP stream wrapper, but it is not as reliable. We recommend cURL.
We have a goal to be as consistent as possible with Semantic Versioning. For released HP Cloud services this is what you can expect.
There are currently two methods of installation. We've been considering PEAR and Phar releases, but have currently limited to only Composer and builds because these cover our needs.
Use Composer to download and install the latest version of OpenStack.
Download a tagged release and include it in your project.
Authenticate, authorize service usage, and retrieve account information.
Store files or other data objects in containers on your OpenStack object storage instance. Create, modify and delete containers. Manage ACLs. Read, write, and delete objects. Expose objects in your object storage to other services.
With full stream wrapper support, you can use built-in PHP functions
like file_get_contents(), fopen(), and stat() for reading
and writing files into object storage.
OpenStack SDK for PHP is PSR-4 compliant, which means that it should work with any PSR-4 autoloader. However, it also comes with its own autoloader for apps that don't yet make use of a standard autoloader.
OpenStack PHP-Client is available as part of the Packagist archive, which means you can use Composer to automatically download, install, and manage revisions to OpenStack from within your project.
We're big fans of Composer.
OpenStack is a cloud computing platform that provides many services, inlcuding compute installs, object and block storage, and a host of hosted services.
This library provides access to those services.
