Web3 PHP is a supercharged PHP API client that allows you to interact with a generic Ethereum RPC.
This project is a work-in-progress. Code and documentation are currently under development and are subject to change.
Get Started
Requires PHP 8.0+
First, install Web3 via the Composer package manager:
composer require web3-php/web3 dev-master
Then, interact with a local (web3-php/cli) or remote ethereum node:
use Web3\Web3;
$web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:8545');
$accounts = $web3->eth()->accounts(); // ['0x54a3259f4f693e4c1e9daa54eb116a0701edc403', ...]
Usage
Web3
Namespace
clientVersion
The clientVersion
method returns the version of the current client.
$web3->clientVersion(); // TestRPC v2.13.2
sha3
The sha3
method hashes data using the Keccak-256 algorithm.
$web3->sha3('string'); // 0x348ab0847d053bb0150c1eb3470a71071d2967e20cf131b59dea3df9bf8f753e

getUncleCountByBlockHash
The getUncleCountByBlockHash
method returns the number of uncles in a block by its hash.
$web3->eth()->getUncleCountByBlockHash('0xd2a91777651a08b92d1d9fc701982c79da2249532cfe41a773a340978f96b5d1'); // 266
hashrate
The hashrate()
method returns the number of hashes-per-second this node is mining at.
$web3->eth()->hashrate(); // '65'
isMining
The isMining()
method determines if the client is mining new blocks.
$web3->eth()->isMining(); // true
blockNumber
The blockNumber()
method returns the number (quantity) of the most recent block seen by this client.
$web3->eth()->blockNumber(); // '3220'
coinbase
The coinbase()
method returns the Coinbase address of the client.
$web3->eth()->coinbase(); // '0xc014ba5ec014ba5ec014ba5ec014ba5ec014ba5e'
sendTransaction
The sendTransaction
method creates, signs, and sends a new transaction to the network.
use Web3\ValueObjects\{Transaction, Wei};
$from = '0xc9257b94da7f8eb07537db73a4ad0603cd83aba4';
$to = '0x108d1089e4a737c0be63527a6e464564be948b03';
$value = Wei::fromEth('1');
$transaction = Transaction::between($from, $to)->withValue($value);
$web3->eth()->sendTransaction($transaction); // '0xa124a7de5177cf5cedd3c44e91d115d0011f915905fa36fb7c000a491fa536ee'
submitWork
The submitWork()
method submits a proof-of-work solution, and returns a boolean based on the result.
$web3->eth()->submitWork($nonce, $proofOfWorkHash, $mixDigest); // true
Net
Namespace
listening
The listening
method determines if this client is listening for new network connections.
$web3->net()->listening(); // true
peerCount
The peerCount
method returns the number of peers currently connected to this client.
$web3->net()->peerCount(); // 230
version
The version
method returns the chain ID associated with the current network.
$web3->net()->version(); // 1637712995212
