(PHP Extension) How to Generate an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS)

Shows how to generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for an Azure Storage Account.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Specify the format of the string to sign.
// Each comma character in the following string represents a LF ("\n") character.
// The names specified in the StringToSign are replaced with the values specified
// in the subsequent calls to SetTokenParam and SetNonTokenParam,.

// Note: The trailing comma in the StringToSign is intentional and important. This indicates that the 
// string to sign will end with a "\n".

// Also note: The names in the StringToSign are case sensitive.  The names
// specified in the 1st argument in the calls to SetNonTokenParam and SetTokenParam should
// match a name listed in StringToSign.
