tommylau/php-5.2 repository overview

⁠lnmpa-php-5.2

lnmpa-php-5.2 is a PHP-FPM Server boxed in a Docker image built by Tommy Lau⁠.

⁠What is in this image?

This image is a php web development environment cooked from scratch with PHP version 5.2.17. Though PHP 5.2 is obsoleted, but a lot of PHP applications are still PHP 5.2 only, such like ECShop⁠ and etc. So I cooked this image with the following features.

Fixed:

• Fixed docker-php-ext-install script error while checking ext-module.ini

Enabled:

• Enabled GD support with GIF, JPEG, PNG, WBMP and XBM
• Enabled mbstring
• Enabled mcrypt
• Enabled mysql
• Enabled mysqli
• Enabled pdo_mysql
• Enabled soap

Other:

• Set php timezone to Etc/UTC

TODO:

• Add boot2docker permissions fix

⁠How to use this image

⁠Single instance mode

Get the docker image by running the following commands:

docker pull tommylau/php-5.2

Start an instance:

docker run --name php -v /path/to/web:/var/www/html -d tommylau/php-5.2

This will start an instance, and you are ready to go.

⁠Linking with other containers

To use this image linking with MySQL, you have to have a running MySQL instance, more information about MySQL docker image, please refer to tommylau/mysql⁠. Suppose you have a MySQL instance named mysql5.6_server, we can link it in our php instance with the name mysql like this:

docker run --name php -v /path/to/web:/var/www/html --link mysql5.6_server:mysql -d tommylau/php-5.2

Then in the instance, you can use the hostname mysql to connect to the database.
