# What is PHP?
|
|
|
|
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development, but which
|
|
can also be used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP can be added to
|
|
straight HTML or it can be used with a variety of templating engines and web
|
|
frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by an interpreter, which is either
|
|
implemented as a native module on the web-server or as a common gateway
|
|
interface (CGI).

# How to use this image.
|
|
|
|
## With Command Line
|
|
|
|
For PHP projects run through the command line interface (CLI), you can do the
|
|
following.
|
|
|
|
### Create a `Dockerfile` in your PHP project
|
|
|
|
FROM php:5.6-cli
|
|
COPY . /usr/src/myapp
|
|
WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp
|
|
CMD [ "php", "./your-script.php" ]
|
|
|
|
Then, run the commands to build and run the Docker image:
|
|
|
|
docker build -t my-php-app .
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-php-app
|
|
|
|
### Run a single PHP script
|
|
|
|
For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a
|
|
complete `Dockerfile`. In such cases, you can run a PHP script by using the PHP
|
|
Docker image directly:
|
|
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp php:5.6-cli php your-script.php
|
|
|
|
## With Apache
|
|
|
|
More commonly, you will probably want to run PHP in conjunction with Apache
|
|
httpd. Conveniently, there's a version of the PHP container that's packaged with
|
|
the Apache web server.
|
|
|
|
### Create a `Dockerfile` in your PHP project
|
|
|
|
FROM php:5.6-apache
|
|
COPY . /var/www/html
|
|
|
|
Then, run the commands to build and run the Docker image:
|
|
|
|
docker build -t my-php-app .
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-php-app
|
|
|
|
### Without a `Dockerfile`
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to include a `Dockerfile` in your project, it is sufficient to
|
|
do the following:
|
|
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-apache-php-app -v "$(pwd)":/var/www/html php:5.6-apache
