Instant PHP and XDebug on Docker
A while back I wrote a little helper script I could stick in my Linux shell which will just spin up whatever directory I'm in as an Apache server running PHP and XDebug, with a self-signed TLS certificate.
It's very useful when the built-in PHP server (php -S) just isn't enough, or I want to run a specific version of PHP.
It works like this:
cd /my/php/project/
php_here 8.1And that's it, I can go hit up https://localhost:4430 or http://localhost:8080 and whatever's in my current directory is mounted inside Apache.
Anyway, just thought I'd share 🙂 in case anyone else finds it useful. You can find the tool here:
