issues

1. Doesn't use the standard location for php 7
2. Doesn't install curl, nor setup the debian packages
3. Doesn't use a docker network forcing one to expose ports and communicate on parent network card
4. Fails to create the database specified in docker compose
5. The mysql database container runs debian 9, and the php container runs debian 8. aka wtf

I pretty much had to reinstall the whole thing from scratch myself to get it working right. So I'm not sure why I bothered with this. Not trying to be rude, but man, this was not what I expected.

I am sorry it didn`t work out for you.

1. I am using a standard (official) PHP/Apache package which is coming from here. https://hub.docker.com/_/php/
2. These are specific requirements for you which can be added
3. A requirement that can be added
4. This might be a legit issue and since it is pulling the MySQL image from docker hub (https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql) it might be pulling the latest updated version that possibly does not support this.
5. This likely is caused because of MySQL pulling latest while PHP/Apache is a specific version but both run independently.

I wrote this docker setup over 3 years ago and at the time it fulfilled my specific needs for developing API's and made it public so others could use it or help improve.

Perhaps instead of pointing out some flaws and personal needs, you can contribute to make it better instead of complaining how it was not working for you.

Hey no worries at all, I saw the fact that it's old, just was a long day and venting. Nothing is ever easy.
I do appreciate the response. I don't know enough about docker compose to modify this appropriately, or adequately. But I was able to generate a new docker commit modified to make it work through direct shell usage.
Thank you and good day to ya
