FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Here is an example of using the SDK to send a text message:
Without Composer
While we recommend using a package manager to track the dependencies in your application, it is possible to download and use the PHP SDK manually. You can download the full source of the PHP SDK from GitHub, and browse the repo if you would like. To use the SDK in your application, unzip the SDK download file in the same directory as your PHP code. In your code, you can then require the autoload file bundled with the SDK.
Usage
Make a Call
Warning It's okay to hardcode your credentials when testing locally, but you should use environment variables to keep them secret before committing any code or deploying to production. Check out How to Set Environment Variables for more information.
Get an existing Call
Iterate through records
The library automatically handles paging for you. Collections, such as calls and messages, have read and stream methods that page under the hood. With both read and stream, you can specify the number of records you want to receive (limit) and the maximum size you want each page fetch to be (pageSize). The library will then handle the task for you.
read eagerly fetches all records and returns them as a list, whereas stream returns an iterator and lazily retrieves pages of records as you iterate over the collection. You can also page manually using the page method.
For more information about these methods, view the auto-generated library docs.
Use the read method
Specify Region and/or Edge
To take advantage of Twilio's Global Infrastructure, specify the target Region and/or Edge for the client:
A Client constructor without these parameters will also look for TWILIO_REGION and TWILIO_EDGE variables inside the current environment.
This will result in the hostname transforming from api.twilio.com to api.sydney.au1.twilio.com.
Enable Debug Logging
There are two ways to enable debug logging in the default HTTP client. You can create an environment variable called TWILIO_LOG_LEVEL and set it to debug or you can set the log level to debug:
Generate TwiML
To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML.
Use Twilio\TwiML\(Voice|Messaging|Fax)Response to easily chain said responses.
That will output XML that looks like this:
Handle exceptions
When something goes wrong during client initialization, in an API request, or when creating TwiML, twilio-php will throw an appropriate exception. You should handle these exceptions to keep your application running and avoid unnecessary crashes.
The Twilio client
For example, it is possible to get an authentication exception when initiating your client, perhaps with the wrong credentials. This can be handled like so:
CurlClient
When initializing the curl client, you will see an EnvironmentException if curl is not installed on your system.
TwilioException
TwilioException can be used to handle API errors, as shown below. This is the most common exception type that you will most likely use.
TwimlException
When building TwiML with twilio-php, if the result does not conform to what the API expects, you will see a TwimlException which you then need to handle like so:
Debug API requests
To assist with debugging, the library allows you to access the underlying request and response objects. This capability is built into the default Curl client that ships with the library.
For example, you can retrieve the status code of the last response like so:
Use a custom HTTP Client
To use a custom HTTP client with this helper library, please see the advanced example of how to do so.
Docker image
The Dockerfile present in this repository and its respective twilio/twilio-php Docker image are currently used by Twilio for testing purposes only.
Getting help
If you need help installing or using the library, please check the Twilio Support Help Center first, and file a support ticket if you don't find an answer to your question.
If you've instead found a bug in the library or would like new features added, go ahead and open issues or pull requests against this repo!
