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:

<?php

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

// Create an ObsClient instance.
$obsClient = new ObsClient([
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables (recommended) or import an 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/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    'key' => getenv('ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
    'secret' => getenv('SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
    'endpoint' => 'https://your-endpoint',
]);

try {
    $resp = $obsClient->createBucket([
        'Bucket' => 'bucketname',
        // Set the bucket ACL to public read (the default state is private read and write).
        'ACL' => ObsClient::AclPublicRead,
        // Set the bucket storage class to Standard.
        'StorageClass' => ObsClient::StorageClassStandard,
        // Set the bucket location.
        'LocationConstraint' => 'bucketlocation'
    ]);
} catch (ObsException $e) {
    // If the operation fails, obtain the exception details.
    printf("CreateBucketFailed: Status:%d, Code:%s, Message:%s\n",
        $e->getStatusCode(), $e->getExceptionCode(), $e->getExceptionMessage());
} finally {
    $obsClient->close();
}

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

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 Regions and Endpoints.
