These samples show how to use the Cloud Bigtable API from PHP.

All code in the src directory demonstrates how to connect to Cloud Bigtable and run some basic operations to create instance, create cluster, delete instance and delete cluster.

1. Enable APIs - Enable the Bigtable 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/bigtable/api

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

5. Run php SNIPPET_NAME.php. The usage will print for each if no arguments are provided:

   $ php src/run_instance_operations.php
   Usage: php src/run_instance_operations.php PROJECT_ID INSTANCE_ID TABLE_ID
