A web server written in pure PHP for PHP? Ohhhh Yes! :) This is a HTTP/1.1 compliant webserver written in php. And the best... it has a php module and it's multithreaded! We use this in the [`appserver.io`](http://www.appserver.io) project as a server component for handling HTTP requests. Installation ============ [](#installation) If you want to use the web server with your application add this ``` { "require": { "appserver-io/webserver": "dev-master" } } ``` to your `composer.json` and invoke `composer update` in your project. Usage ===== [](#usage) If you can satisfy the requirements it is very simple to use the webserver. Just do this: ``` git clone https://github.com/appserver-io/webserver cd webserver PHP_BIN=/path/to/your/threadsafe/php-binary bin/webserver ``` If you're using [`appserver.io`](http://www.appserver.io) the start line will be: ``` bin/webserver ``` Goto and if all went good, you will see the welcome page of the php webserver. It will startup on insecure http port 9080 and secure https port 9443. To test a php script just goto and see what happens... ;) Additionally you can pass two arguments to the startup script. The first one is the path to a custom configuration file, the second one to a custom autoloader file. For example, if you want to use your own configuration and autoloader files start the webserver with ``` bin/webserver path/to/your/configuration.xml path/to/your/autoloader.php ``` Both files can be absolute or relative to the webserver's root directory. > Please be aware, that the autoloader *MUST* be able to load the webserver classes too, as it is not complementary but a replacement for the default composer autoloader. Semantic versioning =================== [](#semantic-versioning) This library follows semantic versioning and its public API defines as follows: - The public API, configuration and entirety of its modules - The public interface of the `\AppserverIo\WebServer\ConnectionHandlers\HttpConnectionHandler` class - The public interfaces within the `\AppserverIo\WebServer\Interfaces` namespace External Links ============== [](#external-links) - Documentation at [appserver.io](http://appserver.io/get-started/documentation/1.1/webserver.html) ### Health Score 39 — LowBetter than 86% of packages Maintenance16 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 51.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~22 days Recently: every ~154 days Total 65 Last Release 2881d ago Major Versions 2.0.2 → 3.2.02015-04-10 2.0.3 → 3.2.22015-05-26 2.0.x-dev → 3.4.12015-11-12 3.4.3 → 4.0.02016-01-22 4.0.9 → 5.0.02016-06-28 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/33b42e8c7314da5df45bca5d1dd786ea2b3d540fae5a5a9489580a886f2f4f39?d=identicon)[zelgerj](/maintainers/zelgerj) ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/aa15f27f393eeb1f1a481fa7de89b41add17de686da79d49e07c5c77249c5e86?d=identicon)[wick-ed](/maintainers/wick-ed) --- Top Contributors [![zelgerj](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/287595?v=4)](https://github.com/zelgerj "zelgerj (328 commits)")[![wick-ed](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4931168?v=4)](https://github.com/wick-ed "wick-ed (168 commits)")[![wagnert](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/287509?v=4)](https://github.com/wagnert "wagnert (136 commits)")[![kingcrunch](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/90388?v=4)](https://github.com/kingcrunch "kingcrunch (1 commits)")[![michaeldoehler](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/188389?v=4)](https://github.com/michaeldoehler "michaeldoehler (1 commits)")[![sydekumf](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3983052?v=4)](https://github.com/sydekumf "sydekumf (1 commits)") --- Tags phpserverhttp serverwebserverhttpd ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/appserver-io-webserver/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/appserver-io-webserver/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/appserver-io-webserver) ``` ### Alternatives [felixfbecker/language-server-protocol PHP classes for the Language Server Protocol 22476.7M6](/packages/felixfbecker-language-server-protocol)[php-mcp/server PHP SDK for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers - Create MCP tools, resources, and prompts 828280.5k25](/packages/php-mcp-server)[felixfbecker/language-server PHP Implementation of the Visual Studio Code Language Server Protocol 1.2k95.4k](/packages/felixfbecker-language-server)[appserver-io/dnsserver Multithreaded DNS serve written in php 161.9k1](/packages/appserver-io-dnsserver)[renoki-co/laravel-healthchecks Laravel Healthchecks is a simple controller class that helps you build your own healthchecks endpoint without issues. 5654.9k](/packages/renoki-co-laravel-healthchecks)[natanfelles/php-server Fine-tuning on the PHP built-in web server. 2811.9k2](/packages/natanfelles-php-server) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
