cowboy_fcgi

FastCGI handler for Cowboy web server - allows PHP scripts to run along side your Erlang web applications via php-fpm.

This is a fork of extend/cowboy_fcgi which is no longer maintained in that repo. I have updated the code to support latest Cowboy 2 stable version.

status

It is currently tested against stable Cowboy version 2 and PHP 7 (it should also work with PHP 5).

getting started

requirements

• erlang (19.0 or newer)
• GNU make (or rebar3)
• php-fpm executable in path

quick start

• clone this repo
• cd cowboy_fcgi/examples/cowboy_php_hello
• make run

This should land you on a console of a running application.

Use a web client or a browser to visit

http://localhost:33080/hello.php

You should see a simple response from hello.php script. Get more details in the example's README.

Docs coming soon... for now see the examples.
