@php-wasm/node

WebAssembly PHP for Node.js

This package ships WebAssembly PHP binaries and the JavaScript API optimized for Node.js. It comes with the following PHP extensions:

• SQLite
• Libzip
• Libpng
• CLI
• OpenSSL
• MySQL

It uses the host filesystem directly and can access the network if you plug in a custom WS proxy.

Here's how to use it:

import { PHP } from '@php-wasm/universal';
import { loadNodeRuntime } from '@php-wasm/node';

const php = new PHP(await loadNodeRuntime('8.3'));

const output = await php.run({
	code: '<?php phpinfo(); ?>',
});

console.log(response.text);

Attribution

@php-wasm/node started as a fork of the original PHP to WebAssembly build published by Oraoto in https://github.com/oraoto/pib and modified by Sean Morris in https://github.com/seanmorris/php-wasm.
