php-server-manager

Package to manage the PHP built-in server from node.

Install

yarn add php-server-manager

Usage

const PHPServer = require('php-server-manager');

const server = new PHPServer();

server.run(cb); // http://localhost:8000

Callback vs Promise

You can pass a callback to the run method, this will get called when the PHP server is up and running. If you don't pass a callback to the run method, a promise will be returned that resolves when the PHP server is up and running.

Example:

const PHPServer = require('php-server-manager');

const server = new PHPServer({
    port: 3000,
    directives: {
        display_errors: 0,
        expose_php: 0
    }
});

server.run();

Quick use

You can use the static function start() to create and run a PHPServer in a single line:

PHPServer.start();

gulp.task('php-server', () =>
    PHPServer.start({
        directory: 'public',
        script: 'public/index.php'
    })
);
