I'd have a PHP {codeigniter} application that i want to migrate to its storage service from AWS S3 to Blob Storage,The application uploads all media files to S3 bucket and S3 generates a link that is stored to the database in which the media file can be accessed from,I want to do the same with azure Blobs storage.I'm facing technical hindrance as i can't find the right resources {libraries/code samples} achieve this goal.Tried the Azure PHP SKD but it didn't work out.

Actually, there is a detailed sample for using Azure Storage PHP SDK. You may refer to: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-php/blob/master/samples/BlobSamples.php

To run that sample, you just need to replace the following place with your own value:

$connectionString = 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=<yourAccount>;AccountKey=<yourKey>';

Suggestion:

I see that you want to generate an access url and store it in database. I am not familiar with AWS S3, but with Azure Storage you may need to set public access level on container or blob.

Otherwise, you can not access the blob directly. You may need to created a SAS token.
