Welcome to opcua-client Discussions!

[GianfriAur]

Welcome! 👋

This is the official discussion space for opcua-client — a pure PHP OPC UA client with binary protocol over TCP, zero external dependencies, and support for browse, read, write, subscribe, history, and 10 security policies.

Whether you're integrating OPC UA into a PHP application, building a custom SCADA dashboard, or exploring industrial IoT — this is the place to ask questions, share ideas, and help each other out.

What goes where

Channel	Use for
Issues	Bug reports with reproduction steps
Discussions → Q&A	"How do I…" questions, troubleshooting, protocol help
Discussions → Ideas	Feature requests, protocol extensions, API design suggestions
Discussions → Show and Tell	Share what you built with opcua-client
Discussions → Tested Hardware & Software	Share what devices and OPC UA servers you've connected
Discussions → General	Everything else — feedback, opinions, project direction

Before you post

• Check the documentation and the doc/ folder first
• For bugs, please open an Issue using the bug report template instead of a discussion
• Include your environment (PHP version, library version, OPC UA server, security policy) — it helps a lot

Ecosystem

• php-opcua/laravel-opcua — Laravel integration (service provider, facades, config)
• php-opcua/opcua-session-manager — persistent sessions via ReactPHP daemon
• php-opcua/opcua-client-nodeset — code generator for NodeSet2.xml

Looking forward to hearing from you. If you have questions, don't hesitate — there are no dumb questions when it comes to OPC UA. The protocol is complex, and we're all learning.
