Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require appwrite/appwrite
```

Requires PHP 8.2 or later.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Init your SDK

[](#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

[](#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](https://appwrite.io/docs) section.

```
$users = new Users($client);

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

### Full Example

[](#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

[](#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;
}
```
