## Installation
## Different PHP Versions
One of the most interesting features of the Symfony server is that it [supports multiple versions of PHP](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#different-php-settings-per-project) if you have them installed (e.g. via Homebrew), and setting different versions on any directory.
As I work on different projects with have different requirements, this is a must for me.
This is done simply by adding a `.php-version` file to the root of the project that contains the PHP version to use - e.g. `7.3`.
[Further PHP customisations can be made per project](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#overriding-php-config-options-per-project) by adding a `php.ini` file.
## Secure Sites Locally
`symfony server:ca:install`
`symfony serve --no-tls`
## Custom Domain Names
https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#local-domain-names
`symfony proxy:domain:attach dransible`
## Adding Databases with Docker
The Symfony server has an integration with Docker for providing extra services such as databases that well need for Drupal.
This is my `docker-compose.yaml` file which defines a `database` service for MySQL:
```yaml
version: '2.1'
services:
database:
image: mysql:5.7
ports: [3306]
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: secret
volumes:
- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
mysql-data:
```
Because port 3306 is exposed, the server recognises it as a database service and automatically creates environment variables prefixed with `DATABASE_`. These can be seen by running `symfony var:export`.
```dotenv
DATABASE_DATABASE=main
DATABASE_DRIVER=mysql
DATABASE_HOST=127.0.0.1
DATABASE_NAME=main
DATABASE_PASSWORD=secret
DATABASE_PORT=32776
DATABASE_SERVER=mysql://127.0.0.1:32776
DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:secret@127.0.0.1:32776/main?sslmode=disable&charset=utf8mb4
DATABASE_USER=root
DATABASE_USERNAME=root
SYMFONY_DOCKER_ENV=1
SYMFONY_TUNNEL=
SYMFONY_TUNNEL_ENV=
```
Now I can use these environment variables within my `settings.php` file to allow Drupal to connect to the database service.
```php
// web/sites/default/settings.php
// ...
if ($_SERVER['SYMFONY_DOCKER_ENV']) {
$databases['default']['default'] = [
'driver' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_DRIVER'],
'host' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_HOST'],
'database' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_NAME'],
'username' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_USER'],
'password' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_PASSWORD'],
'port' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_PORT'],
'prefix' => '',
'namespace' => 'Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
];
}
```
