# 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.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** If you're following the quick start, 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:
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
2. To use this repository, you can either open a locally cloned copy of the code:
|
|
|
|
- Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
|
|
- Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select the **Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container...** command.
|
|
- Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!
|
|
|
|
Or 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.
|
|
|
|
## Things to try
|
|
|
|
Once you have this sample opened in a container, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out `"remoteUser": "vscode"` in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` if you'd prefer to run as root.
|
|
|
|
Some things to try:
|
|
|
|
1. **Edit:**
|
|
- Open `index.php`
|
|
- Try adding some code and check out the language features.
|
|
1. **Terminal:** Press <kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>shift</kbd>+<kbd>\`</kbd> and type `uname` and other Linux commands from the terminal window.
|
|
1. **Run and Debug:**
|
|
- Open `index.php`
|
|
- Add a breakpoint (e.g. on line 4).
|
|
- Press <kbd>F5</kbd> to launch the app in the container.
|
|
- Once the breakpoint is hit, try hovering over variables, examining locals, and more.
|
|
1. **Running a server:**
|
|
- From the terminal, run `php -S 0.0.0.0:8000`
|
|
- Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and run the **Forward a Port** command.
|
|
- Select port `8000`.
|
|
- Click "Open Browser" in the notification that appears to access the web app on this new port.
|
|
- Look back at the terminal, and you should see the output from your site navigations
|
|
- Edit the text on line 21 in `index.php` and refresh the page to see the changes immediately take affect
|
|
1. **Attach debugger to the server:**
|
|
- Follow the previous steps to start up a PHP server and open a browser on port `8000`
|
|
- Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select the **View: Show Debug** command
|
|
- Pick "Listen for XDebug" from the dropdown
|
|
- Press <kbd>F5</kbd> to attach the debugger
|
|
- Add a breakpoint to `index.php` if you haven't already
|
|
