Create LAMP environment using Docker

PHP Development Environment

Configuration for Setting Up a PHP Development environment using Docker Compose.

• root is the Document Root for the Server
• MySQL Runs on Port 3306
• PHPMyAdmin runs on Port 8080. Use credentials as mentioned below

Building the Image

$ docker-compose up --build

Starting the Server

$ docker-compose up

Shutting Down the Server

$ docker-compose down

Database Credentials

• Username: devuser
• Password: devpass
• Database Name: example
• Host: localhost:3306

Connecting to the Database

PDO

// credentials
$host = 'localhost:3306';
$user = 'devuser';
$pass = 'devpass';
$db = 'example';

// Data Source Name (DSN)
$dsn = "mysql:host={$host};dbname={$db}";

// PDO instance i.e. connection
$conn = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);

MySQLi

$host = 'localhost:3306';
$user = 'devuser';
$pass = 'devpass';
$db = 'example';

// establish connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db);

Importing SQL directly inside MySQL container

$ sudo docker exec -i <container name> mysql -uroot -proot <database name> < path/to/db.sql

Note:

• We must first start the containers using docker-compose, then we will be able to see the details of running containers (including container name) using the following command:

$ sudo docker ps

• The credentials for mysql user are assumed to be root:root
• The lack of space in the -u and -p flag is intentional
