Quickstart

<?php

use AzureOss\Storage\Blob\BlobServiceClient;
use AzureOss\Storage\Blob\Models\UploadBlobOptions;

$service = BlobServiceClient::fromConnectionString(
    getenv('AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING')
);

$container = $service->getContainerClient('quickstart');
$container->createIfNotExists();

$blob = $container->getBlobClient('hello.txt');

$blob->upload(
    'Hello from PHP OSS for Azure',
    new UploadBlobOptions(contentType: 'text/plain')
);

$download = $blob->downloadStreaming();
$content = $download->content->getContents();

echo $content.PHP_EOL; // Hello from PHP OSS for Azure

foreach ($container->getBlobs() as $item) {
    echo $item->name.PHP_EOL;
}

// Optional cleanup
$blob->deleteIfExists();
// $container->deleteIfExists();

Features

• Authentication:
  • Connection strings (access keys)
  • Shared key credentials
  • Shared access signatures (SAS) for delegated, time-limited access
  • Microsoft Entra ID (token-based authentication) via azure-oss/azure-identity
• Local development:
  • Supports the Azurite emulator
• Containers:
  • Create, delete, and list (including filtering by prefix)
  • Configure public access when creating a container
  • Read properties and manage metadata
  • Acquire, renew, change, release, and break leases
  • List and restore soft-deleted containers
• Blobs:
  • Upload from strings or streams, with transfer tuning for large uploads
  • Set common HTTP headers (content type, cache control, etc.)
  • Download via streaming and access response properties
  • Protect reads and writes with ETag, date, and lease ID conditions
  • Acquire, renew, change, release, and break leases
  • Copy blobs (synchronous and asynchronous)
  • List blobs (flat, by prefix, and hierarchical listing) with page sizing
  • Delete and restore soft-deleted blobs
  • Create, read, copy, and delete snapshots
  • Select, read, restore, and delete blob versions
  • Read properties and manage metadata
  • Blob index tags: set/get tags and query blobs by tags (account or container scope)
• SAS:
  • Generate SAS for blobs, containers, and the account (when using credentials that can sign SAS)
