What is Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for PHP

Aspose.Words Cloud is a modern REST API, designed to perform a wide variety of operations on Word documents in the Cloud. The fundamental idea behind Words Cloud API is to incorporate a full-featured Word document processing functionality into customer’s applications, while providing high scalability and speed.

Similar to other Aspose Cloud SDKs, our PHP Cloud SDK is a wrapper around Cloud API, designed to be simple, efficient and secure. The SDK takes care of low-level details of an underlying REST API architecture, offers fewer opportunities to make mistakes, and lets developers focus on writing code specific to their particular project. As a result, it gets developers up and coding more quickly by putting Cloud API at their fingertips, along with providing PHP code samples and documentation.

For detailed information about the content in this SDK, including a description of new content, please see API Reference. Also have a look at the complete list of Aspose.Words Cloud SDKs.

Core Features and Functionality

With PHP Cloud API you can easily integrate Word conversion, generation, and editing features into PHP applications running on any modern OS. It allows you to work with a complete set of Word document components, such as main text, headers, footers, tables, sections, comments, drawing objects, fonts, hyperlinks, math objects, watermarks, and many others. PHP Cloud SDK assists in reading, editing, merging, splitting documents as well as converting a Word document to other supported file formats.

Since all our SDKs have been tested thoroughly before launch, our customers can be assured that PHP Cloud SDK is reliable, secure, and ready for production use in their apps.

$appKey = "##################";
$wordsApi = new WordsApi($appSid, $appKey);

$request = new ConvertDocumentRequest("sample.pdf", "docx");
