PHP

Runs a PHP project on an on-device PHP server; the WebView points at the local port.

When to use

Small PHP apps, admin tools, and demos — including custom PHP frameworks.

Runtime

• Version — PHP 8.4 (from pmmp/PHP-Binaries), downloaded once on first use.
• Composer — 2.10.x available for dependency management.
• Extensions — custom native extensions (zend_extension, .so) supported.
• Managed in the Linux Environment and Runtime Management screens.

Core config

Backed by PhpAppConfig.

Project

• Project (projectId/projectName) — the PHP source to serve.
• Framework (framework) — detected framework, if any.
• Document root (documentRoot) — the web root directory.
• Entry file (entryFile) — defaults to index.php.

Server

• Port (phpPort) — allocated through the Port Manager.
• Environment variables (envVars) — key/value pairs passed to the process.

Dependencies & extensions

• Composer (hasComposerJson) — whether a composer.json is present (install via Composer 2.10.x).
• PHP extensions (phpExtensions) — toggle built-in extensions.
• Custom native extensions (customPhpExtensions) — add .so extensions, each EXTENSION or ZEND_EXTENSION, with load order.

Notes

• WordPress runs on this same PHP runtime — see WordPress.
• DNS and outbound HTTP for the packed PHP binary go through the local DNS bridge.
