Getting Started

To get the application up and running, follow these steps:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine using Git:

git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>

Replace <repository-url> with the URL of this Git repository, and <repository-directory> with the name of the directory into which the repository was cloned.

Step 2: Build the Docker Image

From the root directory of the cloned repository, build the Docker image using the following command:

docker build -t php-app . 

This command builds a Docker image named php-app based on the instructions in the Dockerfile.

Step 3: Run the Container

Once the image is built, you can run the container using:

docker run -it --rm php-app

Running with Different PHP Versions

The Docker setup provided in this repository is based on PHP 7.0 CLI. However, you might want to run the application using a different version of PHP for testing.

Available PHP Images

The official PHP images on Docker Hub support various versions and configurations. You can find a list of available PHP images and tags here: Official PHP Docker Images.

Modifying the Dockerfile

1. Open the Dockerfile in your favorite text editor.
2. Change the FROM line to specify a different PHP version. For example, to use PHP 8.0 CLI, change the line to:

FROM php:8.0-cli

3. Rebuild the application and run the container.

docker build -t php-app .
docker run -it --rm php-app
