Serverless Framework example using an AWS lambda which runs a PHP function

PHP with the Serverless Framework

In order to use PHP on AWS Lambda you need to bundle the PHP binary, including the required libraries, into the package. This serverless example project includes the necessary binary to run a simple PHP script.

See my blog post here.

Prerequisites

• serverless
• node

Install this serverless project. It will create a new serverless-php folder.

serverless install --url https://github.com/ZeroSharp/serverless-php

Deploying the sample function to AWS

Check the serverless.yml file and modify region and stage if necessary.

sls deploy

Running the function locally

sls invoke local --function hello

Running the function on AWS

sls invoke --function hello

Rebuilding the PHP binary

If you need different compiler flags or dependencies you will need to recompile PHP.

Prerequisites

• docker

Compile the static standalone PHP 7 binary

To do this, we have to compile the PHP 7.2.2 with statically linked libraries:

sh buildphp.sh

PHP Version

The default is to use the PHP 7.2.2 branch to compile the PHP binary. To switch the PHP version you can set the branch PHP_VERSION_GIT_BRANCH parameter in buildphp.sh line 8.

Thanks

Thanks to:

• Danny Linden who worked out most of the hard stuff here.
• Robert Anderson who provided the original GitHub repo.
• Stolz for the binaries update.

serverless-php's Issues

SLS deploy not working anymore after nodjes6 deprecation

After the NodeJS 6 deprecation by AWS the serverless deploy no longer works.

The runtime configured to NodeJS 6.10 in serverless.yml:

[...]
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
[...]

Causes the following error on Serverless deploy

$ serverless deploy
Serverless: Packaging service...

  Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  An error occurred: HelloLambdaFunction - The runtime parameter of nodejs6.10 is no longer supported for creating or updating AWS Lambda functions. We recommend you use the new runtime (nodejs12.x) while creating or updating functions.

Compile PHP with Mongodb/Postgress

Thank you for this great work.

Do you know what needs to be done to compile php with Mongodb and Postgress support?

I have read that those modules need to be statically compiled and bundled into the compiled PHP, but I'm lost as to how to do it.

Best regards.

Invoke is failing with issue in AWS Lambda - Process exited before completing request

What about using this cool tool to extract php-cgi executable?

Asking this to be able to launch php applications that are not cli based...

And thanks for this tool.

Using PHP web service frameworks

It would be good to provide pointers for hooking popular webservice frameworks like Slim Framework and Lumen. Similar to the Javascript Express samples.

not able to run php script from the php file

I would like running script from the php file,
like

$command = '/opt/exemple/exemple run api';
system($command);

It seems doesn't work,
just commands which display output like system('ls'); works

Compile causes libpng error

Hello there. I was trying to recompile the PHP binary with the --enable-dom flag and after it completed trying to execute the binary on my local machine or on a lambda resulted in the error:

php: error while loading shared libraries: libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Wondering if there was something I was missing?

"/lib64/libcrypto.so.10: version `OPENSSL_1.0.2' not found (required by ./php)" error occurs after PHP binary is rebuilt

When I install this project and deploy it right away, everything works.
But after I rebuild PHP binary by running sh buildphp.sh (without modifying anything) and then deploy, execution always fails with "/lib64/libcrypto.so.10: version `OPENSSL_1.0.2' not found (required by ./php)" error.

libcurl problem after building PHP

After building PHP 7.1.0 and deploying to Lambda, I get the following error when executing my function:

stderr: ./php: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./php)

Wire up CloudWatch logging

It would be great to provide an example of logging from PHP that would be captured in CloudWatch.
