All code in the snippets directory demonstrate how to invoke Cloud Tasks from PHP.

src/create_http_task.php is a simple function to create tasks with an HTTP target.

1. Enable APIs - Enable the Cloud Tasks API and create a new project or select an existing project.

2. Download The Credentials - Click "Go to credentials" after enabling the APIs. Click "New Credentials" and select "Service Account Key". Create a new service account, use the JSON key type, and select "Create". Once downloaded, set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the path of the JSON key that was downloaded.

3. Clone the repo and cd into this directory

   $ git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/php-docs-samples
   $ cd php-docs-samples/tasks

4. Install dependencies via Composer. Run php composer.phar install (if composer is installed locally) or composer install (if composer is installed globally).

5. Create a Queue To create a queue using the Cloud SDK, use the following gcloud command:

   gcloud tasks queues create <QUEUE_NAME>

1. Run php src/create_http_task.php. The usage will print for each if no arguments are provided:

   $> php src/create_http_task.php
   Usage: php src/create_http_task.php PROJECT_ID LOCATION_ID QUEUE_ID URL [PAYLOAD]
   

   where:

   • PROJECT_ID is your Google Cloud Project id.
   • QUEUE_ID is your queue id. Queue IDs already created can be listed with gcloud tasks queues list.
   • LOCATION_ID is the location of your queue. Determine the location ID, which can be discovered with gcloud tasks queues describe <QUEUE_NAME>, with the location embedded in the "name" value (for instance, if the name is "projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/queues/my-queue", then the location is "us-central1").
   • URL is the full URL to your target endpoint.
