Google Cloud Storage File Download via PHP - php

Question

I'm totally new to Google Cloud Storage (since I used Amazon S3 until now).
I want to set up my web application, so that users can download files directly from the Google Cloud Storage.
I've already tried it, using the Google Api PHP Client, but didn't get a functionally code.
I've uploaded a test file named "test.jpg" to my bucket "test-bucket-46856" which I want to download via signed url (so that users only have time limited access), but I have no idea how to get this started.
Please help. Thanks.
