# 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.

## 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).

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).

    - 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.
