PHP and Apache Docker Template

This repository provides a template for running a PHP and Apache server in Docker, along with a MySQL database. It allows you to quickly set up a development environment for hosting PHP web applications.

Directory Structure

The directory structure of this template is as follows:

- apache
  - demo.apache.conf
  - Dockerfile
- php
  - Dockerfile
- public_html
  - your-website-files
- .env
- docker-compose.yml
- README.md

The apache directory contains the Apache server configuration file (demo.apache.conf) and the (Dockerfile) for building the Apache container.
The php directory contains the Dockerfile for building the PHP container.
The public_html directory is where you can place your PHP web application files.
The .env file is used to store environment variables for configuration.
The docker-compose.yml file defines the services (PHP, Apache, MySQL) and their configurations.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following software installed on your system:

Docker: Install Docker
Docker Compose: Install Docker Compose

Usage

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/afhamahmed1/login-register-php-docker

Navigate to the cloned repository:
```
cd login-register-php-docker
```
Customize the environment variables:
- Open the .env file and update the variables according to your requirements (e.g., database name, username, password).
Start the Docker containers:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
This will start the PHP, Apache, and MySQL containers in the background.
Access the MySQL container's terminal:
```
docker exec -it mysql /bin/bash
```
```
mysql -uroot -prootpassword
```
Enter the password specified in the .env file.

Once inside the MySQL terminal, run the following SQL commands to create the users table:

USE dbtest;

CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);

INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES ('afham', 'abc@example.com', 'password123');

Exit the MySQL terminal by typing exit or pressing Ctrl+D.
Open your web browser and access the application at http://localhost.
- If you have placed your PHP web application files in the public_html directory, they will be served by the Apache server.

Configuration

Apache configuration: The Apache server configuration file (demo.apache.conf) in the apache directory can be modified to suit your needs.
PHP configuration: PHP configuration files can be adjusted in the php directory. Modify these files as per your application's requirements.
MySQL configuration: The MySQL container configuration (including version, root password, database name, username, and password) can be customized in the .env file.

Database Management

To manage the MySQL database, you can use a MySQL client such as phpMyAdmin, which can be added to the docker-compose.yml file.

Add the following service configuration to the docker-compose.yml file:

phpmyadmin:
  image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
  restart: always
  depends_on:
    - mysql
  ports:
    - "8080:80"
  environment:
    PMA_HOST: mysql
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}"
  container_name: phpmyadmin

Uncomment the phpmyadmin service configuration in the docker-compose.yml file.
Restart the Docker containers:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
Access phpMyAdmin at http://localhost:8080 and use the MySQL root username and password specified in the .env file to log in.
