Put all PHP files in the html/ folder. They are mounted into the container at /var/www/html.

Connect to MySQL/MariaDB

$conn = new mysqli("DB_HOST", "DB_USER", "DB_PASS", "DB_NAME");

Connect to MS SQL Server

$conn = sqlsrv_connect("DB_HOST", [
    "Database" => "DB_NAME",
    "UID" => "DB_USER",
    "PWD" => "DB_PASS"
