Creating a Bucket

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see API Reference.

A bucket is a global namespace of OBS and is a data container. It functions as a root directory of a file system and can store objects. The following code shows how to create a bucket:

// Import the dependency library.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Import the SDK code library during the installation with source code.
// require 'obs-autoloader.php';
// Declare the namespace.
use Obs\ObsClient;

// Create an ObsClient instance.
$obsClient = new ObsClient([
      //Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import the AK/SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
      //Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
      'key' => getenv('ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
      'secret' => getenv('SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
      'endpoint' => 'https://your-endpoint',
]);

$resp = $obsClient -> createBucket([
       'Bucket' => 'bucketname',
       // Set the access permission for the bucket to Public Read (the default value is Private).
       'ACL' => ObsClient::AclPublicRead,
       // Set the bucket storage class to Standard.
       'StorageClass' => ObsClient::StorageClassStandard,
       // Set the bucket location.
       'LocationConstraint' => 'bucketlocation'
]);

printf ("RequestId:%s\n", $resp ['RequestId']);

• Bucket names are globally unique. Ensure that the bucket you create is named differently from any other bucket.
• A bucket name must comply with the following rules:
  • Contains 3 to 63 characters chosen from lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.), and starts with a digit or letter.
  • Cannot be an IP-like address.
  • Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.)
  • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (.), for example, my..bucket.
  • Cannot contain periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.

• For more information, see Creating a Bucket.

• During bucket creation, if the endpoint you use corresponds to the default region CN North-Beijing1 (cn-north-1), specifying a region is not a must. If the endpoint you use corresponds to any other region, except the default one, you must set the region to the one that the used endpoint corresponds to. For more information about the valid regions, see .
