YDB PHP SDK provides access to Yandex Database cloud services from PHP code.
Yandex Database is a distributed fault-tolerant DBMS with high availability and scalability, strict consistency and ACID. An SQL dialect – YQL – is used for queries.
Yandex Database is available in two modes:
- Serverless computing mode (only performed operations are paid);
- Dedicated instance mode (dedicated computing resources are paid).

The recommended method of installing is Composer.
Run the following:
composer require yandex-cloud/ydb-php-sdk
First, create a database using Yandex Cloud Console.
Yandex Database supports the following authentication methods:
- OAuth token
- JWT + private key
- JWT + JSON file
- Metadata URL
You should obtain a new OAuth token.
Use your OAuth token:
<?php
use YandexCloud\Ydb\Ydb;
$config = [
// Database path
'database' => '/ru-central1/b1glxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/etn0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
// Database endpoint
'endpoint' => 'ydb.serverless.yandexcloud.net:2135',
// Auto discovery (dedicated server only)
'discovery' => false,
// IAM config
'iam_config' => [
'temp_dir' => './tmp', // Temp directory
'root_cert_file' => './CA.pem', // Root CA file (dedicated server only!)
// OAuth token authentication
'oauth_token' => 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA',
],
];
$ydb = new Ydb($config);
Create a service account with the editor
role, then create a private key. Also you need a key ID and a service account ID.
Connect to your database:
<?php
use YandexCloud\Ydb\Ydb;
$config = [
'database' => '/ru-central1/b1glxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/etn0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'endpoint' => 'ydb.serverless.yandexcloud.net:2135',
'discovery' => false,
'iam_config' => [
'temp_dir' => './tmp', // Temp directory
'root_cert_file' => './CA.pem', // Root CA file (dedicated server only!)
// Private key authentication
'key_id' => 'ajexxxxxxxxx',
'service_account_id' => 'ajeyyyyyyyyy',
'private_key_file' => './private.key',
],
];
$ydb = new Ydb($config);
Create a service account with the editor
role.
Create a service account JSON file, save it in your project as sa_name.json
.
Connect to your database:
<?php
use YandexCloud\Ydb\Ydb;
$config = [
'database' => '/ru-central1/b1glxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/etn0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'endpoint' => 'ydb.serverless.yandexcloud.net:2135',
'discovery' => false,
'iam_config' => [
'temp_dir' => './tmp', // Temp directory
'root_cert_file' => './CA.pem', // Root CA file (dedicated server only!)
// Service account JSON file authentication
'service_file' => './sa_name.json',
],
];
$ydb = new Ydb($config);
When you deploy a project to VM or function at Yandex.Cloud, you are able to connect to the database using Metadata URL. Before you start, you should link your service account to an existing or new VM or function.
<?php
use YandexCloud\Ydb\Ydb;
$config = [
// Database path
'database' => '/ru-central1/b1glxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/etn0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
// Database endpoint
'endpoint' => 'ydb.serverless.yandexcloud.net:2135',
// Auto discovery (dedicated server only)
'discovery' => false,
// IAM config
'iam_config' => [
'temp_dir' => './tmp', // Temp directory
'use_metadata' => true,
],
];
$ydb = new Ydb($config);
You should initialize a session from the Table service to start querying.
<?php
use YandexCloud\Ydb\Ydb;
$config = [
// ...
];
$ydb = new Ydb($config);
// obtaining the Table service
$table = $ydb->table();
// obtaining a session
$session = $table->session();
// making a query
$result = $session->query('select * from `users` limit 10;');
$users_count = $result->rowCount();
$users = $result->rows();
$columns = $result->columns();
Also, you may call the query()
method directly on the Table service. In this case a session will be created behind the scenes, and it will proxy your query to the session.
<?php
$table = $ydb->table();
// making a query
$result = $table->query('select * from `users` limit 10;');
As soon as your script is finished, the session will be destroyed.
Normally, a regular query through the query()
method is sufficient, but in exceptional cases, you may need to fine-tune the query settings. You could do it using the query builder:
<?php
$session = $table->session();
// creating a new query builder instance
$query = $session->newQuery('select * from `users` limit 10;');
// a setting to keep in cache
$query->keepInCache();
// a setting to begin a transaction with the given mode
$query->beginTx('stale');
$result = $query->execute();
Methods of the query builder:
keepInCache(bool $value)
- keep in cache (default:true
)collectStats(int $value)
- collect stats (default: 1)parameters(array $parameters)
- parametersoperationParams(\Ydb\Operations\OperationParams $operation_params)
- operation paramsbeginTx(string $mode)
- begin a transaction with the given mode:- stale
- online
- online_inconsistent
- serializable
txControl(\Ydb\Table\TransactionControl $tx_control)
- transaction control with custom settings
You can chain these methods for convenience.
