Key Capabilities

This SDK allows developers to:

• Connect to Hedera testnet or mainnet using a simple PHP client
• Run account, transfer, token, file, and smart contract operations
• Send and receive consensus messages
• Avoid low level gRPC or protobuf complexity
• Integrate Hedera into PHP based platforms and microservices efficiently

Installation

composer require hub/hedera-sdk-php

Example

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Hub\HederaSdk\Client;

$client = Client::forTestnet();
$client->setOperator($accountId, $privateKey);

$response = $client->transfer()
    ->from($fromAccountId)
    ->to($toAccountId)
    ->amount(1000)
    ->execute();

echo "Transaction receipt: " . $response->getReceipt();
                

Best Practices

• Start development on testnet before moving to mainnet for production
• Store account IDs and private keys securely in environment variables
• Monitor transaction fees and performance when running high volume operations
• Keep the package updated to remain aligned with latest Hedera network updates
