The getPHP script runs entirely in-memory and never installs itself on your machine. Only the PHP stack is added if you choose to install it. To manage services, update, or uninstall the stack, simply re-run the command in your terminal at any time.
It lets you install and manage (update, restart, delete, etc.) your local PHP web stack.
It is a shell script that runs directly from GitHub and leaves no footprint on your system. Your PHP stack is only installed once you explicitly choose to do so.
The getPHP script installs and configures everything you need to start PHP web development on your machine:
- installs OS-specific prerequisites
- creates the document root directory
- creates the logs directory
- installs Apache
- installs MySQL
- installs PHP
- installs phpMyAdmin
- fixes server root
- enables port 80 in Apache
- updates the document root and directory targets
- updates logs files destinations
- enables the rewrite_module
- updates the DirectoryIndex
- enables the php_module
- creates alias for phpMyAdmin
- enables the most common PHP extensions
- enables the extension directory
- sets blowfish_secret for phpMyAdmin
- enables passwordless login in phpMyAdmin
- synchronizes .dll files if needed
- adds PHP to system path
- creates a phpinfo.php file to test PHP
- starts the httpd service
- starts the mysql service
- starts the php service
... and much more that you would otherwise have to configure manually.
