In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the folder where you want to create a function. 1. Navigate to **Cloud Functions**. 1. Click **Create function**. 1. Enter the function name: `php-function`. 1. Click **Create**. - CLI {#cli} If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install). The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id ` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions. To create a function, run this command: ```bash yc serverless function create --name=php-function ``` Result: ```text id: b09bhaokchn9******** folder_id: aoek49ghmknn******** created_at: "2019-06-14T10:03:37.475Z" name: php-function log_group_id: eolm8aoq9vcp******** http_invoke_url: https://functions.yandexcloud.net/b09bhaokchn9******** status: ACTIVE ``` - API {#api} You can create a function using the [create](../../functions/api-ref/Function/create.md) API method. {% endlist %} ## Create the first version of your function {#create-first-version} To create a function [version](../../concepts/function.md#version), you can use one of the [code upload formats](../../concepts/function.md#upload). This example uses a ZIP archive. {% note warning %} Use Object Storage to [upload](../../../storage/operations/objects/upload.md) files larger than 3.5 MB. For more information about limits, see [Quotas and limits in Cloud Functions](../../concepts/limits.md). {% endnote %} ### Create a ZIP archive with the function code {#create-zip} 1. Save the following code to a file named `hello.php`: ```php 200, 'body' => json_encode($resp), ]; } ?> ``` 1. Add `hello.php` to the `hello-php.zip` archive. ### Create a function version {#create-version} {% list tabs group=instructions %} - Management console {#console} 1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), navigate to the folder containing the function. 1. Navigate to **Cloud Functions**. 1. Select the `php-function` function. 1. Under **Last version**, click **Сreate in editor**. 1. Select the `PHP 8.2` runtime. 1. Disable **Add files with code examples** and click **Continue**. 1. Configure the version: * **Code source**: `ZIP archive` * **File**: Attach `hello-php.zip`. * **Entry point**: `hello.handler`. * **Timeout**: `3`. * **Memory**: `128 MB`. * **Service account**: `Not selected`. 1. Click **Save changes**. - CLI {#cli} If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install). The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id ` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions. To create a function version, run this command: ```bash yc serverless function version create \ --function-name=php-function \ --runtime php82 \ --entrypoint hello.handler \ --memory 128m \ --execution-timeout 3s \ --source-path ./hello-php.zip ``` Where: * `--function-name`: Name of the function whose version you want to create. * `--runtime`: Runtime. * `--entrypoint`: Entry point in `.` format. * `--memory`: Amount of RAM. * `--execution-timeout`: Maximum function execution time before timeout. * `--source-path`: ZIP archive with the function code and required dependencies. Result: ```text done (1s) id: d4evvn8obisa******** function_id: d4elpv8pft63******** created_at: "2020-08-01T19:09:19.531Z" runtime: php82 entrypoint: hello.handler resources: memory: "134217728" execution_timeout: 3s image_size: "4096" status: ACTIVE tags: - $latest log_group_id: ckg3qh8h363p******** ``` - API {#api} You can create a function version using the [createVersion](../../functions/api-ref/Function/createVersion.md) API method. {% endlist %} ## Invoke the function {#invoke} {% note info %} To allow any user to invoke your function, [make it public](../../operations/function/function-public.md). For more information about access permissions, see [Access management in Cloud Functions](../../security/index.md). {% endnote %} {% list tabs group=instructions %} - Management console {#console} 1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), navigate to the folder containing the function. 1. Navigate to **Cloud Functions**. 1. Select the function. 1. Navigate to the ![CirclePlay](../../../_assets/console-icons/circle-play.svg) **Testing** tab. 1. In the **Version tag** field, specify `$latest` to invoke the latest function version. 1. In the **Payload template** field, select `No template`. 1. Click ![PlayFill](../../../_assets/console-icons/play-fill.svg) **Run test**. 1. You will see the test status under **Test result** in the **Function status** field. **Note** that the maximum function execution time before [timeout](../../operations/function/version-manage.md), including first call initialization, is ten minutes. 1. You will see the function execution result in the **Function output** field. - CLI {#cli} If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install). The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id ` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions. To invoke a function, run this command: ``` yc serverless function invoke ``` The function version with the `$latest` tag is invoked by default. - HTTPS {#https} You can find the function invocation link on the **Overview** tab, in the **Link to invoke** field. For security reasons, you can only call a function via HTTPS. Call it as a regular HTTPS request by pasting the function invocation link into your browser’s address bar: ``` https://functions.yandexcloud.net/ ``` The following response will appear on the page: ``` Hello, World! ``` {% endlist %} ## What's next {#what-is-next} - To learn more about the function structure required for different invocation methods (HTTP and CLI), see [Invoking a function in Cloud Functions](../../concepts/function-invoke.md). - Read about [service concepts](../../concepts/index.md). - Check out our [step-by-step guides](../../operations/index.md) to learn what you can do with functions and their versions.
