Appwrite PHP SDK

Installation

composer require appwrite/appwrite

Setting Up the Client

use Appwrite\Client;
use Appwrite\ID;
use Appwrite\Query;
use Appwrite\Services\Users;
use Appwrite\Services\TablesDB;
use Appwrite\Services\Storage;
use Appwrite\Services\Functions;
use Appwrite\InputFile;

$client = (new Client())
    ->setEndpoint('https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1')
    ->setProject(getenv('APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID'))
    ->setKey(getenv('APPWRITE_API_KEY'));

Code Examples

User Management

$users = new Users($client);

// Create user
$user = $users->create(ID::unique(), '[email protected]', null, 'password123', 'User Name');

// List users
$list = $users->list([Query::limit(25)]);

// Get user
$fetched = $users->get('[USER_ID]');

// Delete user
$users->delete('[USER_ID]');

Database Operations

Note: Use TablesDB (not the deprecated Databases class) for all new code. Only use Databases if the existing codebase already relies on it or the user explicitly requests it.

Tip: Prefer named arguments (PHP 8+, e.g., databaseId: '...') for all SDK method calls. Only use positional arguments if the existing codebase already uses them or the user explicitly requests it.

$tablesDB = new TablesDB($client);

// Create database
$db = $tablesDB->create(ID::unique(), 'My Database');

// Create row
$doc = $tablesDB->createRow('[DATABASE_ID]', '[TABLE_ID]', ID::unique(), [
    'title' => 'Hello World'
]);

// Query rows
$results = $tablesDB->listRows('[DATABASE_ID]', '[TABLE_ID]', [
    Query::equal('title', ['Hello World']),
    Query::limit(10)
]);

// Get row
$row = $tablesDB->getRow('[DATABASE_ID]', '[TABLE_ID]', '[ROW_ID]');

// Update row
$tablesDB->updateRow('[DATABASE_ID]', '[TABLE_ID]', '[ROW_ID]', [
    'title' => 'Updated'
]);

// Delete row
$tablesDB->deleteRow('[DATABASE_ID]', '[TABLE_ID]', '[ROW_ID]');

String Column Types

Note: The legacy string type is deprecated. Use explicit column types for all new columns.
