Serveur web interne

Avertissement

Ce serveur web est prévu pour aider dans le développement des applications. Il peut également être utile pour les tests, et pour les démonstrations d'applications qui sont exécutées dans des environnements contrôlés. Mais par contre, il n'a pas été conçu pour être un serveur web complet. Aussi, il ne devrait pas être utilisé dans un réseau public.

Le CLI SAPI fournit un serveur web interne.

Le serveur web s'exécute sur un seul processus single-threaded, les applications PHP seront retardés/suspendues si une requête est bloquée.

Les requêtes URI sont servies depuis le dossier de travail courant où PHP a été démarré, à moins que l'option -t ne soit utilisée pour spécifier explicitement un document racine. Si une requête URI ne spécifie pas un fichier, alors le fichier index.php ou le fichier index.html du dossier courant sera retourné. Si aucun de ces fichiers n'existe, la recherche d'un fichier index.php et index.html se poursuivra dans le dossier parent et ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce qu'un de ces fichier ne soit trouvé ou que le dossier racine ne soit atteint. Si un fichier index.php ou index.html est trouvé, il sera retourné et $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] sera défini comme la dernière partie de l'URI. Sinon, un code réponse 404 sera retourné.

Si un fichier PHP est fourni dans la ligne de commande lorsque le serveur web est démarré, il sera traité comme un script "routeur". Le script sera exécuté au début de chaque requête HTTP. Si ce script retourne false, alors la ressource demandée est retournée telle quelle. Sinon, la sortie du script est retournée au navigateur.

Les types MIME standards sont retournés pour les fichiers avec les extensions : .3gp, .apk, .avi, .bmp, .css, .csv, .doc, .docx, .flac, .gif, .gz, .gzip, .htm, .html, .ics, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .js, .kml, .kmz, .m4a, .mov, .mp3, .mp4, .mpeg, .mpg, .odp, .ods, .odt, .oga, .ogg, .ogv, .pdf, .pdf, .png, .pps, .pptx, .qt, .svg, .swf, .tar, .text, .tif, .txt, .wav, .webm, .wmv, .xls, .xlsx, .xml, .xsl, .xsd, and .zip.

Changelog
Version Description
7.4.0 Le serveur web intégré peut être configuré pour fork en de multiple workers pour tester du code qui nécéssite plusieurs requêtes concurrentes au serveur web intégré. Définir la variable d'environnement PHP_CLI_SERVER_WORKERS au nombre désiré de workers avant de démarrer le serveur. Ceci n'est pas supporté sous Windows.
Avertissement

Ce comportement expérimental n'est pas prévu pour un usage en production. Plus générallement, le serveur web intégré n'est pas prévu pour un usage en production.

Exemple #1 Démarrage du serveur web

$ cd ~/public_html
$ php -S localhost:8000

Le terminal affichera :

PHP 5.4.0 Development Server started at Thu Jul 21 10:43:28 2011
Listening on localhost:8000
Document root is /home/me/public_html
Press Ctrl-C to quit

Après des requêtes URI sur http://localhost:8000/ et http://localhost:8000/myscript.html, le terminal affichera quelques choses comme :

PHP 5.4.0 Development Server started at Thu Jul 21 10:43:28 2011
Listening on localhost:8000
Document root is /home/me/public_html
Press Ctrl-C to quit.
[Thu Jul 21 10:48:48 2011] ::1:39144 GET /favicon.ico - Request read
[Thu Jul 21 10:48:50 2011] ::1:39146 GET / - Request read
[Thu Jul 21 10:48:50 2011] ::1:39147 GET /favicon.ico - Request read
[Thu Jul 21 10:48:52 2011] ::1:39148 GET /myscript.html - Request read
[Thu Jul 21 10:48:52 2011] ::1:39149 GET /favicon.ico - Request read

Noter qu'avant PHP 7.4.0, les ressources statiques en lien symbolique ne sont pas accessibles sous Windows, tant que le script routeur ne le gère pas.

Exemple #2 Démarrage avec un dossier racine spécifique

$ cd ~/public_html
$ php -S localhost:8000 -t foo/

Le terminal affichera :

PHP 5.4.0 Development Server started at Thu Jul 21 10:50:26 2011
Listening on localhost:8000
Document root is /home/me/public_html/foo
Press Ctrl-C to quit

Exemple #3 Utilisation d'un script routeur

Dans cet exemple, le fait de demander des images les affichera, mais les requêtes pour les fichiers HTML afficheront "Bienvenue chez PHP !".

<?php
// router.php
if (preg_match('/\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])) {
return
false; // retourne la requête telle quelle.
} else {
echo
"<p>Bienvenue chez PHP !</p>";
}
?>
$ php -S localhost:8000 router.php

Exemple #4 Vérification de l'utilisation CLI du serveur Web

Pour ré-utiliser un script router du framework lors du développement avec le CLI du serveur web et ensuite, continuez de l'utiliser avec un serveur web de production :

<?php
// router.php
if (php_sapi_name() == 'cli-server') {
/* Activation de la route statique et retourne FALSE */
}
/* on continue avec les opérations d'un index.php normal */
?>
$ php -S localhost:8000 router.php

Exemple #5 Gestion des types de fichiers non supportés

Si vous devez servir une ressource statique pour laquelle le type MIME n'est pas géré par le CLI du serveur web, utilisez ceci :

<?php
// router.php
$path = pathinfo($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);
if (
$path["extension"] == "el") {
header("Content-Type: text/x-script.elisp");
readfile($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);
}
else {
return
FALSE;
}
?>
$ php -S localhost:8000 router.php

Exemple #6 Accès au CLI du serveur web depuis une machine distante

Vous pouvez rendre le serveur web accessible sur le port 8000 pour toutes les interfaces avec :

$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8000
Avertissement

Le serveur web intégré ne doit pas être utilisé sur un réseau public.

In order to set project specific configuration options, simply add a php.ini file to your project, and then run the built-in server with this flag:

php -S localhost:8000 -c php.ini

This is especially helpful for settings that cannot be set at runtime (ini_set()).

It’s not mentioned directly, and may not be obvious, but you can also use this to create a virtual host. This, of course, requires the help of your hosts file.

Here are the steps:

1    /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1    www.example.com

2    cd [root folder]
    php -S www.example.com:8000

3    Browser:
    http://www.example.com:8000/index.php

Combined with a simple SQLite database, you have a very handy testing environment.

I painfully experienced behaviour that I can't seem to find documented here so I wanted to save everyone from repeating my mistake by giving the following heads up:

When starting php -S on a mac (in my case macOS Sierra) to host a local server, I had trouble with connecting from legacy Java.

As it turned out, if you started the php server with
"php -S localhost:80"
the server will be started with ipv6 support only!

To access it via ipv4, you need to change the start up command like so:
"php -S 127.0.0.1:80"
which starts server in ipv4 mode only.

If your URI contains a dot, you'll lose the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] variable, when using the built-in webserver.
I wanted to write an API, and use .json ending in the URI-s, but then the framework's routing mechanism broke, and it took a lot of time to discover that the reason behind it was its router relying on $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].

To output debugging information on the command line you can write output to php://stdout:

<?php
$path
= $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];

file_put_contents("php://stdout", "\nRequested: $path");
echo
"<p>Hello World</p>";
?>

On Windows you may find useful to have a phpserver.bat file in shell:sendto with the folowing:
explorer http://localhost:8888
rem check if arg is file or dir
if exist "%~1\" (
  php -S localhost:8888 -t "%~1"
) else (
  php -S localhost:8888 -t "%~dp1"
)

then for fast web testing you only have to SendTo a file or folder to this bat and it will open your explorer and run the server.

I fiddled around with the internal webserver and had issues regarding handling static files, that do not contain a dot and a file extension.

The webserver responded with 200 without any content for files with URIs like "/testfile".

I am not certain if this is a bug, but I created a router.php that now does not use the "return false;" operation in order to pass thru the static file by the internal webserver.

Instead I use fpassthru() to do that.

In addition to that, my router.php can be configured to...
- ... have certain index files, when requesting a directory
- ... configure regex routes, so that, if the REQUEST_URI matches the regex, a certain file or directory is requested instead. (something you would do with nginx config or .htaccess ModRewrite)

Maybe someone finds this helpful.

================================

<?php

$indexFiles
= ['index.html', 'index.php'];
$routes = [
 
'^/api(/.*)?$' => '/index.php'
];

$requestedAbsoluteFile = dirname(__FILE__) . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// check if the the request matches one of the defined routes
foreach ($routes as $regex => $fn)
{
  if (
preg_match('%'.$regex.'%', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
  {
   
$requestedAbsoluteFile = dirname(__FILE__) . $fn;
    break;
  }
}

// if request is a directory call check if index files exist
if (is_dir($requestedAbsoluteFile))
{
  foreach (
$indexFiles as $filename)
  {
   
$fn = $requestedAbsoluteFile.'/'.$filename;
    if (
is_file($fn))
    {
     
$requestedAbsoluteFile = $fn;
      break;
    }
  }
}

// if requested file does not exist or is directory => 404
if (!is_file($requestedAbsoluteFile))
{
 
header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'].' 404 Not Found');
 
printf('"%s" does not exist', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
  return
true;
}

// if requested file is'nt a php file
if (!preg_match('/\.php$/', $requestedAbsoluteFile)) {
 
header('Content-Type: '.mime_content_type($requestedAbsoluteFile));
 
$fh = fopen($requestedAbsoluteFile, 'r');
 
fpassthru($fh);
 
fclose($fh);
  return
true;
}

// if requested file is php, include it
include_once $requestedAbsoluteFile;

Built-in web server uses SAPI logging subsystem. Therefore all messages are written to standard error, and not to standard output stream.
If you want to save server logs into a file, the following command will work:
php -S 0.0.0.0:80 2>&1 | tee out.log

To send environment variable as long as with PHP built-in web server, type like this.

~$ MYENV=dev php -d variables_order=EGPCS -S 0.0.0.0:8000

On PHP script we can check with this code.

<?php
 
echo getenv('MYENV'); // print dev

Just a note to people who also use windows 8.1, or anyone who has had this problem when running the using the PHP server CLI.

`PHP -S localhost:8000 -t /public` <-- Not going to work.

`PHP -S localhost:8000 -t public` <-- Works!

And there is something else up in the notes saying something about you can't serve a project folder and a router file. Well, actually you can! At least for me.

`PHP -S localhost:8000 router.php -t public` <-- Perhaps someone tries this and it doesn't work.

`PHP -S localhost:8000 -t public router.php` <-- Works!

You can also print messages to the server's STDOUT via error_log().

Also the documentation doesn't make it clear that when you use router script if a PHP file is requested and you return false, the PHP file will be served (i.e. you do not need to load and eval it manually).

For serving static content like .css or .js and otherwise using a router (for me it was index.php)  this worked out of the box for me:

   php -S localhost:8000

Due to my router file was index.php. But

   php -S localhost:8000 index.php

did not work, because my static files are not served via my router.

$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] is not defined when using php as the built-in commandline web server, so you can not use $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] to detect the Server's IP address.

P.S.: This is tested on Windows with PHP 7.1 on 2016-12-22.

Below is the printed $_SERVER variable.

If you have trouble with a project using both dynamic routes containing dots (giving unexpected 404 errors) and static file hosting paste this in your index.php

// Support cli server for local development
if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server') {
    $fileName = __DIR__.parse_url($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], PHP_URL_PATH);
    if (file_exists($fileName) && !is_dir($fileName)) return false;
}

Then run the internal server directly on the file:

php -S 127.0.0.1 index.php

Note: The built-in web server has a file size limit. For files larger than 5 GB, it will always serve a "File not found" error page.
