Codespaces LAMP

A ready-to-use LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) development environment powered by GitHub Codespaces. Fork this repository, open it in Codespaces, and start building PHP web applications instantly -- no local setup required.

Features

• Ubuntu 22.04 base image with Apache, MySQL, and PHP pre-installed
• Pre-configured Dev Container with automatic service startup
• PHP extensions included: mysql, curl, gd, intl, mbstring, soap, xml, xmlrpc, zip
• VS Code extensions for PHP IntelliSense, Xdebug, Git Graph, and Docker
• Sample landing page displaying PHP environment information

Prerequisites

• A GitHub account
• Access to GitHub Codespaces

Getting Started

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.
2. Click the green Code button and select Open with Codespaces.
3. Create a new Codespace. The Dev Container will automatically:
   • Build the LAMP stack Docker image
   • Start Apache and MySQL services
   • Forward ports 80 (HTTP) and 3306 (MySQL)
4. Once the Codespace is ready, open the Ports tab and click the forwarded port 80 to view the sample page.

Usage

• Edit or add PHP files in the public/ directory. Apache serves content from this folder.
• Access MySQL via the terminal using mysql -u root.
• The sample page at public/index.php displays your PHP version, server software, and document root.
