PHPRADOS
phprados is a PHP extension for librados.
The extension wraps the C API of librados into a extension, where almost all the native methods are implemented.
Limitations
The extension should work on both 32 and 64-bit systems, but due to PHP's engine it might now work well with very large objects.
Also, the selfmanaged snapshots are not implemented in the extension since their usage is pretty rare.
Methods / Functions
For a full overview of the available functions, open a terminal and run:
$ php --re radosReal code examples can be taken from the Unit tests.

Examples
There is an examples directory which contains some examples.
You probably want to look at the unit tests though, since they will be well maintained.
Unit Testing
Unit tests are available in the "test" directory.
These tests are all written for PHPUnit and require PHPUnit to be installed.
This can be done using PEAR:
$ pear config-set auto_discover 1
$ pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnitRunning the tests is simple:
$ phpunit
