What is PHP?
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. As of January 2013, PHP was installed on more than 240 million websites and 2.1 million web servers.
How to use this image.
Commandline
In the case that you have a PHP project run through the command line interface, 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 single file projects, it may not be convenient to write a Dockerfile for your project. 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 "$(pwd)":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp php:5.6-cli php your-script.php
With Apache
In the more common case, you will probably want to run PHP in conjunction with Apache httpd. Conveniently, there's a version of the php container that's packaged with the apache web server.
Create a Dockerfile in your php project.
FROM php:5.6-apache
COPY . /var/www/html
Then run the commands to build and run the docker image.
docker build -t my-php-app .
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-php-app
Without a Dockerfile
If you don't want to include a Dockerfile in your project, then it is sufficient to do the following.
docker run -it --rm --name my-apache-php-app -v "$(pwd)":/var/www/html php:5.6-apache
