Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when a PHP application needs to construct Ethereum transaction objects and sign them. The documented examples cover transaction preparation and signing, not network submission.
Who it is for
- PHP developers adding Ethereum transaction construction and signing to an application.
- Developers preparing EIP-1559 or EIP-2930 transaction objects in PHP.
Documented uses
- Create a standard transaction object from fields including nonce, sender, recipient, gas, value and data.
- Prepare EIP-1559 transactions with priority-fee and maximum-fee fields.
- Create EIP-2930 transaction objects with access-list fields.
- Sign a transaction object using a private key.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public, identifies the package as open source, and specifies the MIT license. Installation is documented through Composer.
- The package is a PHP library, not a hosted transaction service.
- EIP-1559 and EIP-2930 examples require a chain ID and include access-list fields.
- The signing example supplies a private key directly to the transaction object's sign method.
- The README does not document network submission or retrieval of transaction parameters.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Construct and sign a standard Ethereum transaction
Create a standard transaction object and sign it with a private key.
Before you start
- The
web3p/ethereum-txpackage is installed. - Transaction parameters and a private key are available.
Steps
Import
Web3p\EthereumTx\Transaction.Create a
Transactionwith parameters such as nonce, sender (from), recipient (to), gas, gas price, value, and data;chainIdis shown as optional.Call
$transaction->sign('your private key')and assign the result to$signedTransaction.
Expected outcome
The example assigns the result of signing the transaction to `$signedTransaction`.
Guide limitations
- The example does not document broadcasting the signed transaction or verifying it.
- The private key is supplied directly to the signing method in the example; key storage practices are not described.
