# Try Out Development Containers: PHP
This is a sample project that lets you try out the **[VS Code Remote - Containers](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers)** extension in a few easy steps.
A **development container** is a running [Docker](https://www.docker.com) container with a well-defined tool/runtime stack and its prerequisites. You can try out development containers with **[GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces)** or **[Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers)**.
> **Note:** If you're following the quick start, you can jump to the [Things to try](#things-to-try) section.
This is a sample project that lets you try out either option in a few easy steps. We have a variety of other [vscode-remote-try-*](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Amicrosoft+vscode-remote-try-&type=Repositories) sample projects, too.
> **Note:** If you already have a Codespace or dev container, you can jump to the [Things to try](#things-to-try) section.
## Setting up the development container
Follow these steps to open this sample in a container:
### GitHub Codespaces
Follow these steps to open this sample in a Codespace:
1. Click the Code drop-down menu and select the **Open with Codespaces** option.
1. Select **+ New codespace** at the bottom on the pane.
1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the [getting started steps](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started).
For more info, check out the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/developing-online-with-codespaces/creating-a-codespace#creating-a-codespace).
### VS Code Remote - Containers
Follow these steps to open this sample in a container using the VS Code Remote - Containers extension:
1. If this is your first time using a development container, please ensure your system meets the pre-reqs (i.e. have Docker installed) in the [getting started steps](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started).
2. To use this repository, you can either open the repository in an isolated Docker volume:
- Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select the **Remote-Containers: Try a Sample...** command.
- Choose the "PHP" sample, wait for the container to start and try things out!
> **Note:** Under the hood, this will use **Remote-Containers: Open Repository in Container...** command to clone the source code in a Docker volume instead of the local filesystem.

1. **Edit:**
- Open `index.php`
- Try adding some code and check out the language features.
- Notice that PHP debugging and IntelliSense are already included in the container since the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` lists `"felixfbecker.php-debug"` and `"felixfbecker.php-intellisense"` as extensions to install automatically when the container is created.
