PHP Apache Template

A minimal web server starter pack with:

• my favorite .htaccess config for php routing
• basic directory structure and php entry points
• a top level error handler with developer friendly error response
• basic error page
• basic dark mode css
• basic docker compose setup

Universal Structure.

The project structure is compatible with docker and native apache and shared hosting setups.

All requests are redirected to the public/index.php.

An additional .htaccess and index.php outside the public folder allow the server to run exactly the same when forced by shared hosting providers to put the entire repo in a public web root.

Additional htaccess for src/ blocks public access to source files regardless of server setup.

Requires:

apache with mod_rewrite enabled and php 8.0+.

Recommended development setup:

• Clone the repo and delete the .git folder
• Run composer init and set up PSR-4 autoloading with src/ as the namespace root (default setting).
• Run composer dump-autoload to generate the autoloader.
• Run docker compose up to start the server (random port will be assigned unlees you set the PORT env variable in a .env file).
