I am pleased to announce the beta release of the new PHP SDK.  This release includes a few minor interface changes from the previous release (developer preview 2), as well as the addition of a more comprehensive management interface.

Documentation

The documentation describing the full API is available to peruse here:

http://sdk-snapshots.couchbase.com/php/php_couchbase-2.0.0beta-docs/

Get It

If you are on a linux system, to install the developer preview version of the library, simply grab the source code linked below, then build and install it:

phpize
./configure –enable-couchbase
make && make install

If you are on a Windows system, you can opt to download the tarball and build the source yourself. Or alternatively there are links to the popular build types below as well.
