Introduction

This is a template for a basic HTTP PHP server with OpenSwoole.

The aim is for a fast, free, secure, configurable, and easy-to-use HTTP PHP server with OpenSwoole, where anyone can build their webserver from this template. More features, security, and examples will be added as the project progresses.

Only webpages listed in the configuration can be accessed, so to enable a new page you just add it to the $pages array. In the future, regular expressions will be added. You can follow the configuration instructions below.

I wouldn't recommend using this exact code on a public-facing server, unless you have made necessary modifications and checks for security.

Please follow the installation instructions below to get started.
