PHP sample projects

We've created a sample project to get you started with integrating Cloudinary into your PHP application.

Product Catalog app

The Product Catalog app provides a dynamic solution for managing a back office product catalog with rich media and metadata. It showcases a complete image and video workflow, from upload to delivery. Each product includes a name, metadata (SKU, price, and category), an AI-generated description, an image, and a video—all seamlessly integrated with Cloudinary for advanced media management.

Features

• General functionality

  • Add new products to the catalog.
  • View all products stored in the database.
  • Explore individual product details with comprehensive metadata, image, and video.
  • Edit product details as needed.

• Image workflow

  • Client-side upload: Upload images directly from the client side using the Upload Widget, eliminating backend dependencies.
  • AI-generated descriptions: Leverage Cloudinary’s AI Content Analysis to auto-generate captions for images.
  • Metadata management: Save user-entered product information as metadata in Cloudinary for easy retrieval.
  • Database integration: Store details including Cloudinary public IDs for streamlined delivery.
  • Dynamic delivery: Generate URLs with on-the-fly transformations, including resizing, cropping, and overlays.

• Video workflow

  • Client-side upload: Upload videos directly from the client side using the Upload Widget, bypassing backend processes.
  • Asynchronous moderation: Ensure video compliance through AI-driven content moderation.
    • Approved videos are rendered on the page when manually refreshed.
    • Rejected videos are flagged with actionable feedback.
  • Enhanced playback: Use Cloudinary's Video Player for seamless video rendering.
  • Optional:
    • Webhook integration: Receive real-time notifications for moderation results.
    • Live updates: Product pages auto-refresh to automatically display the latest approved videos.

This app serves as a robust starting point for building an e-commerce platform or any application requiring integrated image and video workflows.
