The following code provides an example of how to call the CreateUser operation by using the SDK for PHP. You can use OpenAPI Developer Portal to debug other API operations and obtain sample code. 

<? php
use AlibabaCloud\Client\AlibabaCloud;
use AlibabaCloud\Client\Exception\ClientException;
use AlibabaCloud\Client\Exception\ServerException;

// Construct an Alibaba Cloud client that is used to initiate requests.
// When you construct the client, specify your AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret.
AlibabaCloud::accessKeyClient('<accessKeyId>', '<accessKeySecret>')
                        ->asDefaultClient();
// Specify request parameters and initiate a request. For more information about the parameters, see API Reference.
try {
    $result = AlibabaCloud::rpc()
                          ->product('Ram')
                          // ->scheme('https') // https | http
                          ->version('2015-05-01')
                          ->action('CreateUser')
                          ->method('POST')
                          ->host('ram.aliyuncs.com')
                          ->options([
                                        'query' => [
                                          'UserName' => "<UserName>",
                                        ],
                                    ])
                          ->request();
    print_r($result->toArray());
} catch (ClientException $e) {
    echo $e->getErrorMessage() . PHP_EOL;
} catch (ServerException $e) {
    echo $e->getErrorMessage() . PHP_EOL;
