## What it is
A collection of PHP code samples demonstrating how to call Google Cloud services using the official PHP client libraries. It is maintained by Google as companion example code for the Google Cloud PHP documentation.

## Use cases
- learn how to call Google Cloud APIs from PHP
- find example code for using Cloud Storage, Firestore, or Pub/Sub in PHP
- get started with Google Cloud PHP client libraries
- copy working snippets for authenticating to Google Cloud services in PHP
- see best-practice patterns for deploying PHP apps on Cloud Run or App Engine

## When to choose
- you are building a PHP application on Google Cloud and want reference example code
- you need copy-paste samples for a specific Google Cloud service in PHP
- you are writing tutorials or docs that need verified PHP snippets

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready framework or library rather than example code
- you use a language other than PHP
- you want an abstraction layer over Google Cloud APIs instead of raw client library usage

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, developer-tools, cloud
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, apis, documentation
- platform: php, cloud
