Installing PhantomPHP

To install PhantomPHP on your Android device, you’ll need the following prerequisites:

Installation Requirements

1. Termux:
   A powerful Linux terminal emulator for Android, available on F-Droid and GitHub.
   This will allow you to run a Linux environment on your Android device.

2. PHP (version 7.4 or above):
   Installable via Termux.
   PHP is required for running server-side scripts and applications.

3. Composer:
   A PHP package manager used for handling dependencies and libraries in PHP projects.
   You can install Composer in Termux to manage PHP packages.

4. MariaDB:
   A popular open-source database management system, forked from MySQL.
   Required for managing databases in your projects.

5. phpMyAdmin:
   A web-based tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases.
   It provides an easy-to-use interface for database administration.

Installation Steps

1. Install Termux:
   • Download and install Termux from F-Droid or the Termux GitHub releases page.

Clone Repository

2. Open Termux and run the following commands to clone the PhantomPHP repository, set the appropriate permissions, and run the installation script:

   git clone https://github.com/codetesla51/phantomphp.git
   cd phantomphp
   chmod +x install
   ./install

   This will clone the PhantomPHP repository, navigate into the project directory, set execute permissions for the installation script, and run it to complete the setup.

Verify installation

4. After running the previous step to clone and install PhantomPHP, verify the installation by running the following command:

   phantom -v

Access phpMyAdmin

5. Use the phantom command to start the PHP server for phpMyAdmin access. Replace <port> with the desired port number (e.g., 8080):

   phantom --db <port>

   Once started, you can access phpMyAdmin in your browser by navigating to:

   http://localhost:<port>
   

   Default Credentials:

   • Username: root
   • Password: root

Now, you should be able to access phpMyAdmin through your browser by navigating to http://localhost:<port>.

Usage

Basic Usage Outline for PhantomPHP Server

Serving

This is the basic way to serve your PHP project. It will run a local server with the default port 8000.

example:

cd /path/to/your-project-directory
phantom --serve

---

Port Selection

In case the default port 8000 is already in use, you can change the port by using the -p option followed by your desired port number (e.g., 8080).

example

phantom --serve 8080

This will run the local server on the selected port.

---

phpMyAdmin Initialization

To start both MySQL and phpMyAdmin for database interaction, you can specify a custom port with the --db flag. In this example, we use port 8880. If the port is already in use, the server will not run.

Example:

phantom --db 8880

This will start the MySQL server and phpMyAdmin on port 8880. If the port is already in use, the server will not run.

You can access phpMyAdmin in your browser by navigating to:

http://localhost:8880

Default Credentials:

• Username: root
• Password: root

---

Port Forwarding

Want to share your work with your team or friends? PhantomPHP allows you to forward your local server port and share it with others, including SSL certification for a secure connection. Use the -f flag to enable port forwarding.

Example:

phantom -serve 8080

This will run the local server on port 8080. After serving, the server will read options. Press F (or f) to enable port forwarding and allow others to access your server. This will forward the port for others to access your application securely.

Direct File Running in PHP

To quickly run your PHP file and get immediate output, you can use the following command without needing to add the .php extension. Simply provide the filename.

Usage Example:

phantom -run filename

For instance:

phantom --run init

This will run the init.php file.
