PHP Web Cloud Native Buildpack

The Paketo PHP Web Buildpack is a Cloud Native Buildpack V3 that configures PHP applications to run.

This buildpack is designed to work in collaboration with other buildpacks which do things like provide PHP binaries. (e.g. PHP Dist CNB)

Detection

The detection phase passes if either of the following conditions hold true:

• <APPLICATION_ROOT>/<WEBDIR>/*.php exists
• <APPLICATION_ROOT>/**/*.php exists

Build

Looks at buildpack.yml for php.webserver, if

• php-server, contribute a web process type using php -S
• httpd, generate a suitable httpd.conf
• nginx, generate a suitable nginx.conf

Integration

The PHP Web CNB is the last in the standard chain of PHP CNBs. It provides php-web as a dependency, but currently there's no scenario we can imagine that you would use a downstream buildpack to require this dependency. If a user likes to include some other functionality (like a monitoring tool or a db driver), it can be done independent of the PHP Web CNB without requiring a dependency of it.

To Package

To package this buildpack for consumption:

$ ./scripts/package.sh --version <version-number>

This will create a buildpackage.cnb file under the build directory which you can use to build your app as follows: pack build <app-name> -p <path-to-app> -b build/buildpackage.cnb

License

This buildpack is released under version 2.0 of the Apache License.

Configuring custom ini files

If you like to configure custom .ini files in addition to the php.ini provided by the buildpack, you can create a directory named .php.ini.d at the root of your app and add your custom .ini files there.
