This is the first stable release of v9. It introduces breaking changes to the Management API, and two behavior changes to the Authentication API. Please consult the v9 Migration Guide and UPGRADE.md for detailed upgrade instructions.

🚀 What's New

This release marks a major milestone for the Auth0 PHP SDK. The Management API client has been completely rewritten using the Fern code generation tool, built directly from the Auth0 OpenAPI specification. This delivers complete, always-up-to-date API coverage with full type safety.

✨ Highlights

• 🏗️ Auto-generated Management API - Rebuilt from the Auth0 OpenAPI spec using Fern, ensuring complete endpoint coverage and consistency with the API
• 🔒 Strongly-typed requests & responses - No more associative arrays or manual JSON decoding. Every request parameter and response field is a typed PHP object with IDE autocompletion
• 📄 Built-in pagination - Pager<T> implements IteratorAggregate, automatically fetching pages as you iterate with foreach
• 🔑 Automatic token management - New ManagementClient wrapper handles OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant, token caching (PSR-6), and custom token providers out of the box
• ⚡ Built-in retry middleware - Automatic retries for rate-limited (429) responses
• 🛡️ Exception-driven error handling - Non-2xx responses throw Auth0ApiException with status code and response body, replacing manual status code checks
• 🔁 Custom Token Exchange - New Authentication::customTokenExchange() and Auth0::loginWithCustomTokenExchange() methods

🔄 What's Changed

The Management API has breaking changes:

The Authentication API is largely unchanged, with two behavior changes:

• client_id, response_type, and response_mode can no longer be overridden through the $params argument on Auth0::login(), Auth0::signup(), Auth0::handleInvitation(), Authentication::getLoginLink(), and the Pushed Authorization Request flow. They are always resolved from your SdkConfiguration
• Auth0::handleBackchannelLogout() now stores cache entries with the configured relative expiry (backchannelLogoutExpires, default 30 days) instead of an absolute timestamp. If you ran a persistent backchannel logout cache on 8.10.0 or later, flush it once after upgrading

📦 Installation

composer require auth0/auth0-php

🔧 Quick Start

use Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Wrapper\ManagementClient;
use Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Wrapper\ManagementClientOptions;
use Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Users\Requests\ListUsersRequestParameters;

$client = new ManagementClient(new ManagementClientOptions(
    domain: 'tenant.auth0.com',
    clientId: 'CLIENT_ID',
    clientSecret: 'CLIENT_SECRET',
));

// List users with automatic pagination
$pager = $client->users->list(new ListUsersRequestParameters([
    'perPage' => 50,
    'includeTotals' => true,
]));

foreach ($pager as $user) {
    echo $user->getEmail();
}

BEFORE YOU UPGRADE

• This is a major release that includes breaking changes. Please see UPGRADE.md before upgrading. This release will require changes to your application.
• The SDK no longer specifically relies on Guzzle for network requests. Options for supplying your libraries of choice have been added through PSR-18 and PSR-17 configuration options.
• PHP 7.4 is now the minimum supported PHP version, but we encourage using PHP 8.0. PHP 7.4 will be the last supported 7.x release. This library follows the official support schedule for PHP.

8.0 Highlights

• Updated SDK API for more intuitive use and improved usability. Now follows fluent interface principles.
• Updated SDK API designed with PHP 8.0's named arguments as the encouraged interface method.
• New configuration object, SdkConfiguration, allows for dynamic changes within your application.
• Updated PHP language support, including typed properties and return types, are now used throughout the SDK.
• Added support for the following PHP-FIG standards interfaces:
  • PSR-6 caches are now used for caching JWKs and Management API tokens.
  • PSR-7 HTTP messages are now returned by methods that initiate network requests.
  • PSR-14 events are now raised, allowing for deeper integration into the SDK's behavior.
  • PSR-17 HTTP factories are now used during network requests for generating PSR-7 messages.
  • PSR-18 HTTP clients are now supported, allowing you to choose your network client.
• Improved Token handling system.
• Encrypted session cookies, with cookies being the default session handler. PHP sessions may be phased out in a future release.
• New Management API auto-pagination helper for iterating through API results.
• PKCE is now enabled by default.

For a complete overview of API changes, please see UPGRADE.md.

For guidance on using the new configuration interface or SDK API, please see README.md.

Changelog entries for releases prior to 8.0 have been relocated to CHANGELOG.ARCHIVE.md.
