PHP Applications

Package PHP applications into self-extracting binaries. daedalus supports PHP apps using Composer, including Symfony, Laravel, and WordPress.

Detection

daedalus detects PHP applications by looking for composer.json in the project root.

Supported Frameworks

Laravel

# Laravel projects with artisan
daedalus build my-laravel-app -o my-laravel-app.de

daedalus detects Laravel by the presence of the artisan file and uses it as the entry point.

Symfony

# Symfony projects with symfony.lock
daedalus build my-symfony-app -o my-symfony-app.de

daedalus detects Symfony by symfony.lock or config/bundles.php and uses bin/console as the entry point.

WordPress

# WordPress with wp-config.php
daedalus build my-wordpress-site -o my-wordpress-site.de

Generic PHP Apps

daedalus build my-php-app -o my-php-app.de

Requirements

cat > composer.json << 'EOF'
{
    "name": "my-app",
    "require": {
        "php": ">=8.1"
    }
}
EOF

cat > index.php << 'EOF'
<?php
echo "Hello from PHP " . PHP_VERSION . "\n";
