Usage

Simply configure your function as follows:

1. Set the Runtime to provided
2. Determine the latest version of the layer: aws lambda list-layer-versions --layer-name arn:aws:lambda:<your region>:887080169480:layer:php71
3. Add the following Lambda Layer: arn:aws:lambda:<your region>:887080169480:layer:php71:<latest version>

If you are using AWS SAM it's even easier! Update your function:

Resources:
  MyFunction:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      ...
      Runtime: provided
      Layers:
        - !Sub arn:aws:lambda:${AWS::Region}:887080169480:layer:php71

Development

The layer is built by:

1. Installing a Docker environment
2. Running make in the layers directory

This will launch a Docker container that will build php71.zip.
