Object Storage Service:Create a bucket (PHP SDK V1)

Usage notes

• In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. To access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region, use an internal endpoint. For details about supported regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

• This topic demonstrates creating an OSSClient instance with an OSS endpoint. For alternative configurations, such as using a custom domain or authenticating with credentials from Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OssClient.

• Starting at 10:00:00 (UTC+8) on October 13, 2025, OSS gradually enables Block public access by default for buckets that are created by calling API operations or by using OSS SDKs or ossutil in all regions. For the time when the change takes effect in each region, see Announcement. After this feature is enabled, you cannot grant public access permissions, including the public-read or public-read-write ACL and bucket policies that allow public access. If your business requires public access, you can disable block public access after the bucket is created.

Permissions

By default, an Alibaba Cloud account has full permissions. RAM users or RAM roles under an Alibaba Cloud account do not have any permissions by default. The Alibaba Cloud account or account administrator must grant operation permissions through RAM policies or Bucket Policy.

Examples

The following code shows how to create a bucket named examplebucket.

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint.
$endpoint = "http://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket.
$bucket= "examplebucket";
try {
    $config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
        "signatureVersion" => OssClient::OSS_SIGNATURE_VERSION_V4,
        "region"=> "cn-hangzhou"
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);
    // Set the storage class of the bucket to Infrequent Access (IA). The default storage class is Standard.
    $options = array(
        OssClient::OSS_STORAGE => OssClient::OSS_STORAGE_IA
    );
    // Set the ACL of the bucket to public-read. The default bucket ACL is private.
    $ossClient->createBucket($bucket, OssClient::OSS_ACL_TYPE_PUBLIC_READ, $options);
} catch (OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}
print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");
