The project was developed by RealDolmen and the author as part of Microsoft's interoperability push, alongside similarly released Java and Ruby SDKs for .NET Services. The SDK wraps Azure's REST/XML interfaces into a simple PHP API, usable whether hosted on Azure or on-premise servers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is there an official PHP SDK for Windows Azure Storage? Yes, PHPAzure is an open source PHP SDK for Windows Azure, released on CodePlex and developed by RealDolmen in collaboration with Microsoft. It provides PHP classes for CRUD operations on Windows Azure Blobs, Tables, and Queues, plus helper classes for HTTP transport, authentication/authorization, REST error management, and logging. It works whether the application is hosted on Windows Azure or an in-premise server. _Developers tracking cloud SDK releases across languages can follow Azure and PHP ecosystem news on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud), [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#php](https://daily.dev/tags/php) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-php-sdk-for-windows-azure-bpxhcjs0p) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Announcing PHP SDK for Windows Azure","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-php-sdk-for-windows-azure-bpxhcjs0p","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-php-sdk-for-windows-azure-bpxhcjs0p"},"datePublished":"2026-10-04T13:06:09.824Z","dateModified":"2026-10-04T13:13:48.886Z","description":"Microsoft has released an open source PHP SDK for Windows Azure on CodePlex, called PHPAzure, enabling PHP developers to interact with Windows Azure Storage...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1cc718a98f5915c6f0ac60061f743bf5?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1cc718a98f5915c6f0ac60061f743bf5?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Maarten Balliauw","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Maarten Balliauw","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--rOTg3VYO--/f_auto,q_auto/v1791119043/logos/maartenballiauw?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/maartenballiauw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-php-sdk-for-windows-azure-bpxhcjs0p","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"cloud,open-source,php","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Maarten Balliauw","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/maartenballiauw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Announcing PHP SDK for Windows Azure"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-php-sdk-for-windows-azure-bpxhcjs0p#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is there an official PHP SDK for Windows Azure Storage?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, PHPAzure is an open source PHP SDK for Windows Azure, released on CodePlex and developed by RealDolmen in collaboration with Microsoft.
