Get started
Installation
First, install vite-plugin-php using npm:
npm install vite-plugin-php@latest --save-devAdjust Vite
To configure Vite to use vite-plugin-php, update your vite.config.js file as follows:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import usePHP from 'vite-plugin-php';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [usePHP()],
});?? By default, the plugin attempts to access the system's php binary and uses index.php as the main entry point.\
You can alos customize the PHP binary path or specify multiple entry points:
usePHP({
binary: '/path/to/php', // Specify your PHP binary path
entry: ['index.php', 'about.php', 'contact.php'], // Multiple entry points
});Use PHP
Instead of the index.html create an index.php file in your project root:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Vite PHP Integration</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello, Vite and PHP!"; ?>
<?php if (isset($_GET['show_me'])): ?>
Hello world!
<?php endif; ?>
</body>
</html>With this setup, vite-plugin-php processes your index.php file, including all imported and preprocessed assets supported by Vite and other loaders.
