Installing PhantomPHP
---------------------

[](#installing-phantomphp)

To install PhantomPHP on your Android device, you’ll need the following prerequisites:

### Installation Requirements

[](#installation-requirements)

1. **Termux**:
    A powerful Linux terminal emulator for Android, available on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org) and [GitHub](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases).
    This will allow you to run a Linux environment on your Android device.
2. **Acode**:
    A code editor for Android, available on the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store).
    Ideal for editing and writing your code directly on your Android device.
3. **PHP (version 7.4 or above)**:
    Installable via Termux.
    PHP is required for running server-side scripts and applications.
4. **Composer**:
    A PHP package manager used for handling dependencies and libraries in PHP projects.
    You can install Composer in Termux to manage PHP packages.
5. **MariaDB**:
    A popular open-source database management system, forked from MySQL.
    Required for managing databases in your projects.
6. **phpMyAdmin**:
    A web-based tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases.
    It provides an easy-to-use interface for database administration.

### Installation Steps

[](#installation-steps)

1. **Install Termux**:

    - Download and install Termux from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org) or the [Termux GitHub releases page](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases).
2. **Install Acode**:

    - Download and install Acode from the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store).
3. **Install Composer**:

    - Open Termux and run the following commands to install Composer:

    ```
    pkg update
    pkg upgrade
    pkg install php
    pkg install curl
    curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin --filename=composer
    ```

    This will install **Composer** globally in Termux.
4. **Run Auto Installation Command**:

    - Once **Composer** is installed, copy and paste the following commands to automatically install and configure the required dependencies:

    ```
    composer global require dconco/phantom-php
    echo export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin" >> ~/.profile
    phantom --install
    phantom -v
    ```
5. **Access phpMyAdmin**:

    - Use the `phantom` command to start the PHP server for phpMyAdmin access. Replace `` with the desired port number (e.g., 8080):

    ```
    phantom --db
    ```

Now, you should be able to access phpMyAdmin through your browser by navigating to `http://localhost:`.

### Testing

[](#testing)

To test your setup, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:

```
phantom -v
```

---

### Usage

[](#usage)

**Basic Usage Outline for PhantomPHP Server**

### Serving

[](#serving)

This is the basic way to serve your PHP project. It will run a local server with the default port 8000.

**example:**

```
cd /path/to/your-project-directory
phantom --serve
```

---

### Port Selection

[](#port-selection)

In case the default port 8000 is already in use, you can change the port by using the -p option followed by your desired port number (e.g., 8080).

**example**

```
phantom --serve 8080
```

#### This will run the local server on the selected port.

[](#this-will-run-the-local-server-on-the-selected-port)

---

### phpMyAdmin Initialization

[](#phpmyadmin-initialization)

To start both MySQL and phpMyAdmin for database interaction, you can specify a custom port with the -D flag. In this example, we use port 8880. If a port is already in use, the server will not run.

**example**

```
phantom --db 8880
```

---

### Port Forwarding

[](#port-forwarding)

Want to share your work with your team or friends? PhantomPHP allows you to forward your local server port and share it with others, including SSL certification for a secure connection. Use the -f flag to enable port forwarding.

**example**

```
phantom -serve 8080 -f
#or use --forward
```

#### This will run the local server on port 8080 and forward the port for others to access.

[](#this-will-run-the-local-server-on-port-8080-and-forward-the-port-for-others-to-access)

---

### Direct File Running in PHP

[](#direct-file-running-in-php)

To quickly run your PHP file and get immediate output, you can use the following command without needing to add the `.php` extension. Simply provide the filename.

**Usage Example:**

```
phantom -run filename
```

#### For instance:

[](#for-instance)

```
phantom --run init
```

#### This will run the init.php file.
