Is there a PHP API for writing to the Datastore?

[Nooby]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any PHP documentation about writing to the datastore? I know PHP is experimental at this stage. So is this something that will be available in the future?

Having written websites in PHP, it is the language that makes most sense to me writing an app engine app. I have got as far as letting the user upload an image to the blobstore. Now I need to store the list of images in datastorage. (I don't want to use Cloud SQL because firstly it's not scalable and secondly there is no free quota).

Thanks.

There's no native access to the datastore at this point, but you can use the datastore via the Cloud Datastore service: https://gae-php-tips.appspot.com/2013/12/23/getting-started-with-the-cloud-datastore-on-php-app-engine/ . Note that this is a paid service though. 

Also, Cloud SQL is quite scalable and very usable for applications large and small. You should consider using it.

Hi

Please vote/star for the following issue: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9931

It's marked 'started' by Google since January 2014. Was hoping they would come out with native Datastore Access from PHP at Google IO, but unfortunately not. Hopefully they will release this soon, as we're holding back with php projects on App Engine until this is natively supported.

I've just released a library that sits on top of the Google PHP API client.

It makes reading and writing with Datastore much easier (I hope).

Check it out - it might help you if you're still looking.

Hi Tom,

This looks like a fantastic contribution for any PHP App Engine developers, I for one have been looking for an easier solution to write to datastore from PHP and I thank you for creating and sharing this. I will most certainly have a play with it.

Thanks

Ant
