## What it is
A PHP library that adds SAML 2.0 support to PHP applications, enabling them to act as a Service Provider for single sign-on with identity providers. It handles SAML request/response generation, validation, metadata, and XML signature verification.

## Use cases
- add SAML single sign-on to a PHP app
- integrate with Okta or Azure AD via SAML
- implement a SAML service provider in PHP
- validate SAML responses and signatures
- generate SAML metadata XML
- support enterprise SSO login in a PHP application

## When to choose
- you need SAML 2.0 SP functionality in a PHP application
- you must integrate with enterprise identity providers that only support SAML
- you want a well-tested library with security hardening against signature wrapping and XEE attacks

## When to avoid
- your application only needs OAuth2 or OpenID Connect rather than SAML
- you are not using PHP
- you need an identity provider implementation rather than a service provider
