Can i run php mysql in google engine

Question

I am planning to create a facebook canvas application using php sdk.

The Google app engine, which provides a free account, so I plan to do this.

But there is still a problem, right now the google application only supports java and python.

Is there any way to run php and mysql in google engine?

Answer 1

PHP cannot start natively in App Engine. But there is an open source tool called Quercus , a 100% implementation of the Java Java language (requires JDK 1.5). Since App Engine now supports Java, this means that you can use Quercus to run PHP scripts in App Engine.

Answer 2

Well, I'm two years late, but from today, PHP is officially available on the Google App Engine.

Answer 3

You can run PHP scripts in App Engine in the JVM with Quercus; however, it is still not possible to use mySQL; you need to use the App Engine datastore. This will require rewriting any code that relates to the database, so existing PHP scripts will not work without a big hack.

Note. Support for relational databases is on the App Engine roadmap, but no one knows exactly when it will be available, or if mySQL relational database is available.

Answer 4

The Google App engine now supports PHP runtime. Check out the official documentation here - https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/

You can check this blog for more information about the announcement - http://spsneo.com/blog/2013/05/18/php-on-google-app-engine/

Answer 5

Quercus is not as good as working PHP initially, and it knows the problems. As I understand it, you are starting to build an application, so I suggest using Python in appengine. Its very easy to get started.

If you have a LAMP-based application, and if you don't want to learn a new language, check out Amazon Beanstalk .

I suggest making a decision based on the strengths of the platform and the flexibility you need.

Here is a link to using mysql through CloudSQL in the Google Cloud: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/cloud-sql/
