Using a Docker Container as a PHP Interpreter
Hi,
I created a named in '/usr/local/bin/php7' with these contents:
---
#!/bin/bash
docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp -u $UID:${GROUPS[0]} byjg/php7 php "$@"
---
After I tried to create a new interpreter and I got the message "PHP Is not installed".

Hello,
We do not support such configurations.
Please follow these steps to configure a remote PHP interpreter inside Docker:
* https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Docker+Support+in+PhpStorm - complete Docker integration configuration guide
* https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2016/11/docker-remote-interpreters/ - adding remote Docker interpreter into PhpStorm
Hi Vladmir,
This was useful for me. I follow the guide "Docker Remote Interpreters" but when I am checking the PHP version I got:
Can not update phpinfo: Cannot parse configuration file
Please try to provide a full path to PHP executable there.
I reinstalled the PHPStorm and followed the instructions and It worked.
Thank you.
Joao,
why did you need to reinstall phpstorm for this to work? I am having the same problem as you had with the phpinfo popup, but I just installed phpstorm a few weeks ago, so I am wondering what this fixes, or whether its just a coincidence?
Well,
When I wrote this post, I had upgraded my PHPStorm from 2016.2 to 2016.3.
After I removed the PHPStorm and get a fresh install with no previous config (removed the ~/.PHPStorm2016.3 folder) and I did a new setup everything works.
I do not know exactly what I did wrong previously.
JetBrains - this is probably a common request as most people want to run their tests on the production environment described in their docker-composer.xml, not in php:cli image spun up by PhpStorm.
Joao, and others, the reason the above script didn't work is because PhpStorm calls the php interpreter with /tmp/ide-phpinfo.php as a parameter.
Simplest fix would be to map host machine's /tmp to container's /tmp, but that seems dangerous and ugly.
Another possibility is processing the arguments sent to your "php interpreter", strip out and copy any files referencing /tmp, and modify all arguments to point the copied location.
I'll post more on this one if there's any interest.
Hi Greg,
I solved my problem on this post before without know this.
BUT what you said was very important for me. I mapped my /tmp to docker's /tmp and I believe some problems I had can be solved :)
Thank you!
