now-php-extra

A Now 2.0 builder for complicated PHP projects which need extra extensions (than the @now/php builder) like gd, pdo or dom and supports Composer.

How to use it

Create a info.php file:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Create a now.json like:

{
  "version": 2,
  "builds": [{ "src": "*.php", "use": "now-php-extra" }]
}

After running now, you'll get a result like this: https://now-php-extra-project-fwjp5iv98.now.sh/info.php

With Composer

Install Cowsayphp package via Composer:

$ composer require alrik11es/cowsayphp

Create a index.php file:

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Cowsayphp\Farm;

$cow = Farm::create(\Cowsayphp\Farm\Cow::class);
echo '<pre>' . $cow->say("Ohmg I'm a cow on Now 2.0!") . '</pre>';

Create a .nowignore file:

vendor

Result: https://now-php-extra-project-fwjp5iv98.now.sh

    {
      "src": "*.php",
      "use": "now-php-extra",

          "/.ico$/",
          "/.js$/",
          "/.jpg$/",

          "/.woff2$/"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]

Maximum Lambda Bundle Size

To help keep cold boot times low, the maximum output bundle size for a PHP lambda is, by default, 10mb.

This limit is extendable up to 50mb.
