Yes, you can use Firebase with PHP. Firebase provides a REST API that can be accessed using any programming language that can make HTTP requests. You can use PHP's built-in functions like curl or third-party libraries like Guzzle to interact with the Firebase API.

Here's an example of making a simple GET request to the Firebase Realtime Database using Guzzle:

php
Copy code
use GuzzleHttp\Client; $client = new Client(); $response = $client->get('https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com/users.json'); $body = (string)$response->getBody(); $data = json_decode($body, true); print_r($data);

Replace <your-firebase-app> with your Firebase app name, and /users.json with the path to your data. This example retrieves all the user data stored in the Firebase Realtime Database.
