+### Including Composer dependencies
+
+If your PHP action requires [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) dependencies, you can install them as usual using `composer require` which will create a `vendor` directory. Add this directory to your action's zip file and create the action:
+
+```bash
+zip -r helloPHP.zip index.php vendor
+wsk action create helloPHP --kind php:7.1 helloPHP.zip
+```
+
+The PHP runtime will automatically include Composer's autoloader for you, so you can immediately use the dependencies in your action code.
+
+Note that if you don't include your own `vendor` folder, then the runtime will include one for you. The packages included are listed in the [reference](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/reference.md#composer-packages).
