Can PHP retrieve data from Firebase / Firestore?

Question

Is there a PHP library for connecting php to the Firebase Firestore database? Is it even possible to PHP to retrieve data from Firebase?

Answer 1

Yes, you can retrieve data using PHP, an example:

$db->getReference('people')
->orderByChild('height')
->getSnapshot();

The above will order the reference's children by the values in the field 'height' in ascending order.
