Using gulp with PHP files

Hi CodyHouse-Team,

i want to use gulp with PHP files, but i dont find any solution for this with the current gulp version 4.
There are some threads on stackoverflow, but i don't get any working watcher with this.

In previous projects we helped use with switching back to gulp version 3.9. Here it was possible to use "gulp-connect-php".
But with this new and entangled gulpfile.js and purgeCSS there is no way back to gulp 3.9.

So is there a way you can provide a optional gulpfile.js, where it is possible to use PHP files?

Regards
Sven

Hi Sven,
the purgeCSS option has not been added to the default watch task but it has been included in a separate dist task, as you can see from the gulp.js file here:
https://gist.github.com/claudia-romano/523c46f02cee8035f6d9900d09bda292

As the watch task has not been modified, you can keep using the version you already had; the watch task is the only one you would need to use with a plugin like gulp-connect-php for the live page refresh. If you wish to use the dist task, you won't need any live reload.

Cheers!
