😎 Getting Started
Let's picture you want to deploy your awesome microproject written in PHP and you don't know where. You have found Vercel it's awesome, but for static sites. Not anymore! I would like to introduce you your new best friend vercel-php, PHP runtime for Vercel platform.
Most simple example project is this one, using following project structure.
project
├── api
│ └── index.php
└── vercel.json
First file api/index.php is entrypoint of our application. It should be placed in api folder, it's very standard location for Vercel.
<?php
phpinfo();
Second file vercel.json is pure gold here. Setup your project with configuration like this and voila. That's all.
{
"functions": {
"api/*.php": {
"runtime": "vercel-php@0.9.0"
}
}
}
Last thing you have to do is call vercel. If you are more interested take a look at features and usage.
# Install it globally
npm i -g vercel
# Log in
vercel login
# Let's fly
vercel

⚙️ Usage
Before you can start using this runtime, you should learn about Vercel and how runtimes works. Take a look at blogpost about Serverless Functions.
You should define functions property in vercel.json and list PHP files directly or using wildcard (*).
If you need to route everything to index, use routes property.
{
"functions": {
"api/*.php": {
"runtime": "vercel-php@0.9.0"
}
},
"routes": [
{ "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "/api/index.php" }
]
}

👨💻 vercel dev
For running vercel dev properly, you need to have PHP installed on your computer, learn more.
But it's PHP and as you know PHP has built-in development server. It works out of box.
php -S localhost:8000 api/index.php

Additional function properties are memory, maxDuration. Learn more about functions.

"memory": 3008,
"maxDuration": 60
}
}
}
Yes, Composer is fully supported.
project
├── api
│ └── index.php
├── composer.json
└── vercel.json
{
"functions": {
"api/*.php": {
"runtime": "vercel-php@0.9.0"
}
}
}
{
"require": {
"php": "^8.1",
"tracy/tracy": "^2.0"
}
}
It's also good thing to create .vercelignore file and put /vendor folder to this file. It will not upload
/vendor folder to Vercel platform.
Yes, you can override php configuration. Take a look at default configuration at first.
Create a new file api/php.ini and place there your configuration. Don't worry, this particulary file will be
removed during building phase on Vercel.
