php-opencloud

PHP SDK for OpenStack/Rackspace APIs

For SDKs in different languages, see http://developer.rackspace.com.

The PHP SDK should work with most OpenStack-based cloud deployments, though it specifically targets the Rackspace public cloud. In general, whenever a Rackspace deployment is substantially different than a pure OpenStack one, a separate Rackspace subclass is provided so that you can still use the SDK with a pure OpenStack instance (for example, see the OpenStack class (for OpenStack) and the Rackspace subclass).

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.3.3
• cURL extension for PHP

Installation

You must install this library through Composer:

# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

# Require php-opencloud as a dependency
php composer.phar require rackspace/php-opencloud:dev-master

Once you have installed the library, you will need to load Composer's autoloader (which registers all the required namespaces):

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

And you're ready to go!
