Getting Started

Init your SDK

Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID which can be found in your project settings page and your new API secret Key from project's API keys section.

$client = new Client();

$client
    ->setEndpoint('https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    ->setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
    ->setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
    ->setSelfSigned() // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
;

Make Your First Request

Once your SDK object is set, create any of the Appwrite service objects and choose any request to send. Full documentation for any service method you would like to use can be found in your SDK documentation or in the API References section.

$users = new Users($client);

$user = $users->create(ID::unique(), "email@example.com", "+123456789", "password", "Walter O'Brien");

Full Example

use Appwrite\Client;
use Appwrite\ID;
use Appwrite\Services\Users;

$client = new Client();

$client
    ->setEndpoint('https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    ->setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
    ->setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
    ->setSelfSigned() // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
;

$users = new Users($client);

$user = $users->create(ID::unique(), "email@example.com", "+123456789", "password", "Walter O'Brien");

Error Handling

The Appwrite PHP SDK raises AppwriteException object with message, code and response properties. You can handle any errors by catching AppwriteException and present the message to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.

$users = new Users($client);
try {
    $user = $users->create(ID::unique(), "email@example.com", "+123456789", "password", "Walter O'Brien");
} catch(AppwriteException $error) {
    echo $error->message;
}
