## From README

Appwrite PHP SDK Setting Up the Client Code Examples User Management Database Operations Note: Use TablesDB (not the deprecated Databases class) for all new code. Only use Databases if the existing codebase already relies on it or the user explicitly requests it. Tip: Prefer named arguments (PHP 8+, e.g., databaseId: '...') for all SDK method calls. Only use positional arguments if the existing codebase already uses them or the user explicitly requests it. String Column Types Note: The legacy string type is deprecated. Use explicit column types for all new columns. | Type | Max characters | Indexing | Storage | |------|---------------|----------|---------| | varchar | 16,383 | Full index (if size ≤ 768) | Inline in row | | text | 16,383 | Prefix only | Off-page | | mediumtext | 4,194,303 | Prefix only | Off-page | | longtext | 1,073,741,823 | Prefix only | Off-page | varchar is stored inline and counts towards the 64 KB row size limit.
