It's resolved,
it turned out that i have to return the whole save() function, so the cloud code would be:

Parse.Cloud.define("createNewUser", async (request) => {
    var User = Parse.Object.extend("User");
    var us = new User();
    us.set("username", request.params.username);
    us.set("name", request.params.name);
    us.set("email", request.params.email);
    us.set("password", request.params.password);
    return await us.save();
});

i'm not sure if this is secure or not, but managed to get objectId and Error messages if there is any,
however i was confused of the example here

Parse.Cloud.define("averageStars", async (request) => {
  const query = new Parse.Query("Review");
  query.equalTo("movie", request.params.movie);
  const results = await query.find();
  let sum = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < results.length; ++i) {
    sum += results[i].get("stars");
  }
  return sum / results.length;
});

this example return a string, how Parse Cloud Php would get result from that ?
i haven't tested that example but just observation.

if there is a different approach, i would appreciate it please let me know.

A Cloud Function can return any type, if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't even have to be a JSON. It then depends on your implementation client side to properly handle the response. So the Parse PHP SDK should not expect a certain type for a Cloud Function response.

I'm closing this as it does not seem to be a Parse PHP SDK issue.
