+Also note that currently you can only create clients in PHP for gRPC services - you can find out how to create gRPC servers in our other tutorials, e.g. [Node.js](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-common/tree/master/node/route_guide).

 This isn't a comprehensive guide to using gRPC in PHP: more reference documentation is coming soon.

 The next sections guide you step-by-step through how this proto service is defined, how to generate a client library from it, and how to create a client stub that uses that library.
