## What it is
OpenAI PHP is a community-maintained PHP SDK for interacting with the OpenAI API, covering chat, responses, embeddings, audio, images, fine-tuning, vector stores, and more. It also ships a Laravel-specific package (openai-php/laravel) with framework integration.

## Use cases
- call the openai api from php
- generate chat completions with gpt-4 in a laravel app
- create embeddings for semantic search in php
- transcribe audio with whisper from php
- generate images with dall-e via php
- fine-tune openai models programmatically

## When to choose
- your backend is PHP or Laravel and you need typed access to the OpenAI API
- you want a community-maintained, MIT-licensed client covering the full OpenAI API surface
- you need Laravel service-container integration and facades

## When to avoid
- you use another language or framework with an official SDK
- you need multi-provider LLM abstraction rather than OpenAI specifically
- you require vendor-official support guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- domain: large-language-models, artificial-intelligence, apis, web-development
