Forked from https://github.com/helderco/docker-php-5.3
PHP 5.3 reached EOL on 14 Aug 2014 and thus, official docker support was dropped. I still needed to run 5.3 with FPM so I built this image based on the latest official builds of 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).
For PHP projects run through the command line interface (CLI), you can do the following.
FROM andthensome/docker-php-5.3-fpm
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
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 "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp helder/php-5.3 php your-script.php
If you don't want to include a Dockerfile in your project, it is sufficient to do the following:
docker run -it --rm --name my-php-fpm-app -v "$PWD":/var/www/html helder/php-5.3
