The @now/php
builder allows you to use any .php
file.
Note: This builder will only include one PHP source file per Lambda. In the future, it will automatically include its dependencies via static analysis.
When to use it
Whenever you want to use PHP.
How to use it
Define a .php
file:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
And a now.json
like:
{ "version": 2, "builds": [{ "src": "*.php", "use": "@now/php" }] }
After running now
, you'll get a URL like this: https://php-deployment-7z9gyzb8j.now.sh/
The example deployment above is open-source and you can view the code for it here: https://php-deployment-7z9gyzb8j.now.sh/_src
