PHP 8.3 OpenFAAS of-watchdog based template

This is largely based on the official PHP 8 template, changed just enough to work with of-watchdog. As such most of the documentation from it applies here.

Modules (by default)
Core, ctype, curl, date, dom, fileinfo, filter, ftp, hash, iconv, json, libxml, mbstring, mysqlnd, openssl, pcre, PDO, pdo_mysql, pdo_sqlite, Phar, posix, readline, Reflection, session, SimpleXML, sodium, SPL, sqlite3, standard, tokenizer, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, zlib

Changes versus official template

Since this is based on of-watchdog running in HTTP mode, it means that you will have direct access to superglobal variables such as $_GET, $_POST, etc.
Similarly, you will be able to manipulate response headers yourself.

Usage:

faas-cli template pull https://github.com/b-t-927/php8-of-watchdog
faas-cli new my-function --lang php8-of-watchdog

Extra Extensions

If you need to install PHP extensions, you can add the necessary commands in the php-extension.sh file within your function directory which will be run at build time. An example which installs the pgsql and pdo_pgsql extensions can be found at php-extension.example.sh.

You can refer to the PHP Docker image documentation for additional instructions on the installation and configuration of extensions.

Private Composer Auth

In some cases, you may need to use private composer repositories - using the faas-cli you can pass in a build argument during build, for example;

faas-cli build -f ./functions.yml \
  --build-arg COMPOSER_AUTH='{"bitbucket-oauth": {"bitbucket.org": {"consumer-key": "xxxxxxxx","consumer-secret": "xxxxxxx"}}}'

See more information here.

That way you can pass in tokens for Composer, if necessary, GitHub tokens to get around rate-limit issues.
