HPCloud-PHP
This package provides PHP OpenStack bindings for the HP Cloud.
You can use this library to:
- Authenticate your application to the HP Cloud.
- Interact with Object Storage (aka Swift).
Coming soon:
- Intect with the Compute (Nova) manager.
- Interact with other HP Cloud services
Requirements
- PHP 5.3
- An active HPCloud account with the desired services.
Suggestions
- 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.
Versioning
We have a goal to be as consistent as possible with Semantic Versioning. For released HP Cloud services this is what you can expect.
Installation
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.
Method #1:
Use Composer to download and install the latest version of HPCloud-PHP.
Method #2:
Download a tagged release and include it in your project.
Features
Identity Services
Authenticate, authorize service usage, and retrieve account information.
Object Storage
Store files or other data objects in containers on your HP Cloud 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.
Autoloading
HPCloud is PSR-0 compliant, which means that it should work with any PSR-0 autoloader. However, it also comes with its own autoloader for apps that don't yet make use of a standard autoloader.
Composer Support
HPCloud-PHP is available as part of the Packagist archive, which means you can use Composer to automatically download, install, and manage revisions to HPCloud-PHP from within your project.
We're big fans of Composer.
