/** About the OpenStack PHP-Client
*
* This is the documentation for the OpenStack PHP-Client library.
*
* Overview
*
* @see http://www.openstack.org is open source software for
* building public and private clouds.
*
* The PHP-Client library provides PHP developers with a fully tested,
* robust, and feature-rich library for working with the OpenStack services.
*
* Making use of this library will require that you have several pieces of
* account information for your OpenStack account:
* - account ID and secret key: For cases where you want account-wide
* authentication/authorization.
* - username/password: Typically, this is the same username/password you use
* to access the console.
* - tenant ID: This associates an account or user with a bundle of services.
* You can find this information in your console.
* - endpoint: You will need the URL to the OpenStack endpoint responsible for
* authenticating users. This can be found in your console.
*
* Where To Start
*
* Cruising a list of methods and classes is not exactly the best way to get
* started with a library. It's better to know where to start. Here's
* what we suggest:
*
*- There are a few tutorials inside this documentation that will help you
* get started.
* @see streams-tutorial Information about stream wrappers.
* @see oo-tutorial Getting started with the library itself
*- Connecting and logging in is almost inevitably going to be your first
* task. For that, you will want to look at IdentityServices.
*- ObjectStorage (a.k.a. swift) is the cloud storage system. There are
* two ways to use it:
* - You can explore the object oriented API, starting with ObjectStorage.
* - You can use the PHP stream wrappers to access your object storage. This
* is explained in StreamWrapper.
*
* Learn More
*
* This documentation is intended to provide a detailed reference to the
* PHP-Client library. To learn more about the APIs and OpenStack visit
* @see http://api.openstack.org/
* @see http://docs.openstack.org/
*
* Basic Example: Stream Wrappers
*
* The super-simple stream API:
*
* <?php
* require 'vendor/autoload.php';
*
* // Turn on stream wrappers.
* \OpenStack\Bootstrap::useStreamWrappers();
*
* // Create a stream context. You can get this
* // information (including tenant ID) from your
* // OpenStack console.
* $cxt = stream_context_create(array(
* 'username' => 'foo@example.com',
* 'password' => 'secret',
* 'tenantid' => '123456',
* 'endpoint' => 'http://url.from.hpcloud.com/',
* ));
*
*
* // Get an object from the remote object storage and read it as a string
* // right into $myObject.
* $myObject = file_get_contents('swift://mycontainer/foo.txt', FALSE, $cxt);
*
* ?>
*
* With stream wrapper support, you can transparently read and write files to the
* ObjectStorage service without using any fancy API at all. Use the
* normal file methods like this:
*
*- fopen()/fclose()
*- fread()/fwrite()
*- file_get_contents(), stream_get_contents()
*- stat()/fstat()
*- is_readable()/is_writable()
*- And so on
* @see http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
*
* Learn more about this at \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\Resource\StreamWrapper.
*
* Basic Example: Identity Service
*
* Stream wrappers are nice and all, but
* some of us love fancy APIs. So here's an example using the full API
* to log in and then dump a list of services that are available to you:
*
* <?php
* require 'vendor/autoload.php';
*
* use \OpenStack\Identity\v1\IdentityService;
*
* // Create a new identity service object, and tell it where to
* // go to authenticate. This URL can be found in your console.
* $identity = new IdentityService('http://get.url.from.hpcloud.com');
*
* // You can authenticate with a username/password (IdentityService::authenticateAsUser()).
* // In either case you can get the info you need from the console.
* $username = 'foobar';
* $password = 'dgasgasd';
* $tenantId = '56545654';
*
* // $token will be your authorization key when you connect to other
* // services. You can also get it from $identity->token().
* $token = $identity->authenticateAsUser($username, $password, $tenantId);
*
* // Get a listing of all of the services you currently have configured in
* // OpenStack.
* $catalog = $identity->serviceCatalog();
*
* var_dump($catalog);
*
* ?>
*
*- Our classes use PHP namespaces to organize components. If you've never used
* them before, don't worry. They're easy to get the hang of.
*- The Bootstrap class handles setting up OpenStack services. Read about it at \OpenStack\Bootstrap.
*- The IdentityServices class handles authenticating to OpenStack, discovering services, and providing
* access to your account. \OpenStack\Identity\v1\IdentityService explains the details, but here are
* a few functions you'll want to know:
* - \OpenStack\Identity\v1\IdentityService::__construct() tells the object where to connect.
* - \OpenStack\Identity\v1\IdentityService::authenticateAsUser() lets you log
* in with username and password.
* - \OpenStack\Identity\v1\IdentityService::serviceCatalog() tells you about
* the services you have activated on this account.
*
* Basic Example: Object Storage
*
* Assuming you have an object storage instance available in your service
* catalog, we could continue on with something like this:
*
* <?php
* // The explicit way:
* // Find out where our ObjectStorage instance lives:
* // $storageList = $identity->serviceCatalog('object-storage');
* // $objectStorageUrl = storageList[0]['endpoints'][0]['publicURL'];
*
* // Create a new ObjectStorage instance:
* // $objectStore = new \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage($token, $objectStorageUrl);
*
* // Or let ObjectStorage figure out which instance to use:
* $objectStore = \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage::newFromIdentity($identity);
*
* // List containers:
* print_r($objectStore->containers());
*
* // Get a container named 'stuff':
* $container = $objectStore->container('stuff');
*
* // List all of the objects in that container:
* print_r($container->objects());
*
* // Get an object named 'example.txt'
* $obj = $container->object('example.txt');
*
* // Print that object's contents:
* print $obj->content();
*
* // Actually, since it implements __tostring, we could do this:
* print $obj;
* ?>
*
* This shows you a few methods for accessing objects and containers on your
* \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage account. There are many functions for
* creating and modifying containers and objects, too.
*
*- \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage is where you will start.
*- Container services are in \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage\Container
*- There are two classes for objects:
* - \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage\Object is for creating new objects.
* - \OpenStack\ObjectStore\v1\ObjectStorage\RemoteObject provides better network
* performance when reading objects.
