I am pleased to announce the next beta release of our new PHP SDK.  This release primarily consists of minor bug fixes in addition to initial support for cross-sdk data types.

Documentation

The documentation describing the full API is available for viewing here:

http://sdk-snapshots.couchbase.com/php/php_couchbase-2.0.0beta2-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.
