+## PHP Quick Start with Cloudinary
+
+This is a simple PHP project that demonstrates how to configure and use Cloudinary for image management. The program loads Cloudinary credentials from a .env file, generates an image tag with specified transformations, and outputs it to the browser.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+* PHP (version 7.4 or higher recommended)
+* Composer for dependency management
+* A Cloudinary account (you can sign up here if you don’t have one)
+
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+    ```
+    git clone https://github.com/your-username/php-cloudinary-quickstart.git
+    cd php-cloudinary-quickstart
+    ```
+
+2. Install dependencies: <p>Run the following command to install PHP dependencies using Composer:</p>
+    ```
+    composer install
+    ```
+
+3. Set up environment variables:
+    * Create a .env file in the root of your project.
+    * Add your Cloudinary URL (from your Cloudinary dashboard) in the `.env` file like this:
+        ```
+        CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://API_KEY:API_SECRET@CLOUD_NAME
+        ```
+
+4. This project uses `vlucas/phpdotenv` to load environment variables, so make sure your `.env` file is in the same directory as your PHP file.
+
+### Usage
+
+1. Start a local server: You can use the built-in PHP server to serve the file:
+    ```
+    php -S localhost:8000
+    ```
+
+2. Access the program: Open your browser and go to `http://localhost:8000` to see the output, which will display a Cloudinary image with specified transformations.
+
+### Code Explanation
+
+* **Dotenv**: This project uses `vlucas/phpdotenv` to load environment variables from a `.env` file.
+* **Cloudinary PHP SDK**: The code configures Cloudinary using credentials from `.env` and generates an image tag with a transformation (resizing to 400px width).
+* **Image transformation**: The example includes a resize transformation for the sample image using Resize::scale().
+
+### Example Output
+
+The program will display the following HTML image tag (adjusted for the Cloudinary demo account):
+
+```
+<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/b_auto:predominant,c_pad,h_400,w_400/flower_sample">
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+
+* `vlucas/phpdotenv` for environment variable management
+* Cloudinary PHP SDK for managing Cloudinary assets
