PHP Cloud Native Buildpack Updates
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted an update on the PHP Cloud Native Buildpacks. The good news is that lots of progress has been made. We’ve basically achieved feature parity with the old PHP buildpack and I believe the PHP CNB’s should be working for most apps now!
If you’re coming from the old PHP buildpack, there are some differences. This is basically a major version bump, so it was an opportunity to make a few breaking changes that we believe will generally improve the user experience. Check out the migration documentation for details on what’s changed.

PHP Cloud Native Buildpacks Now in the Official Builder
In my previous post, I talked about how to use the PHP Cloud Native buildpacks. It was not super tricky but required some manual work to set up. This is because the PHP CNBs were not, at the time, part of an official builder.
What’s a builder? It’s basically an image containing a bunch of CNBs, all ready for your use. See this link for more details.
If you are to run pack suggest-builders, then you will see the list of official builders. At the time of writing, that is Heroku, Cloud Foundry (bionic) and Cloud Foundry (cflinuxfs3).

PHP Cloud Native Buildpacks
At work, I’ve been helping to rewrite the PHP buildpack as a set of Cloud Native Buildpacks. The PHP CNBs are coming together, current quality is alpha, but I think they’re ready enough for people to try them out and report how they work for you. This post has instructions and a demo to use the PHP CNBs.
But first, a slight digression.
A little about the architecture of the PHP CNBs. The previous PHP buildpack has been decomposed into a set of five PHP CNBs, two of which are optional. There are php-cnb, php-composer-cnb, httpd-cnb, nginx-cnb and php-web-cnb.

WordPress Running on Cloud Foundry
I’d previously written an article on deploying WordPress on Cloud Foundry. The process was a little clunky and has since broken, because of updates & changes to Cloud Foundry. To remedy this, I wrote a new post which was published today on the Cloud Foundry Foundation Blog.
