+# Phase 5.5: Native PHP Examples
+
+This directory contains native PHP examples demonstrating the behavior of the Rate Limiter library using the **Resolver** as the entry point.
+These examples rely only on `vendor/autoload.php` and use a dummy in-memory driver to replicate real-world scenarios.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+1.  **Entry Point**: `RateLimiterResolver::resolve()` is the only public way to obtain a rate limiter instance. `EnforcingRateLimiter` is an internal implementation detail.
+2.  **Global vs Action**: The system automatically enforces a "Global" limit before checking the specific "Action" limit.
+3.  **Drivers**: Drivers are "dumb" counters. They do not calculate backoff or know about global rules.
+4.  **Exceptions**: A `TooManyRequestsException` carries a `RateLimitStatusDTO` with full context (retry time, source, etc.).
+
+## Examples
+
+### 1. Basic Flow (`01_basic_flow.php`)
+Demonstrates the standard usage:
+- Create `RateLimiterResolver`.
+- Resolve a driver.
+- Call `attempt()`.
+- Inspect the returned `RateLimitStatusDTO`.
+
+### 2. Global Blocking (`02_global_blocking.php`)
+Simulates a scenario where the **Global** rate limit is exceeded.
+- The system checks the global limit *before* the action limit.
+- If the global limit is exceeded, `TooManyRequestsException` is thrown with `source: 'global'`.
+
+### 3. Action Blocking (`03_action_blocking.php`)
+Simulates a scenario where the Global limit passes, but the specific **Action** limit is exceeded.
+- If the global limit passes, the specific action limit is checked.
+- If exceeded, `TooManyRequestsException` is thrown with `source: 'action'`.
+
+### 4. Backoff Flow (`04_backoff_flow.php`)
+Demonstrates how the library calculates exponential backoff.
+- Repeated failures result in increased `retryAfter` and `backoffSeconds`.
+- This calculation is handled internally by the `EnforcingRateLimiter`, not the driver.
+
+### 5. Exception Handling (`05_exception_handling.php`)
+Detailed inspection of the `TooManyRequestsException`.
+- Shows how to access the `RateLimitStatusDTO` via `$e->status`.
+- Prints all relevant properties for client response construction.
