[google-appengine] Re: [Newbie Questions] Setting up and test a local php app before deploying in QCP

2019-04-18 Thread Terry Middleton 
Harmit,

This very much does help.  Thank you for your details responses.  This goes 
a long way in helping understand the big picture of GCP and how the pieces 
fit together.   

Truly, Thank You!

Terry

PS.  QCP was a typo.  I meant to type GCP.  Not sure how that happens as 
the G and Q are really far apart on the keyboard.

Hi Terry, 

Thanks for using Google Groups!

I am not too sure what QCP is. Would you be able to clarify what you mean 
by that?

In regards to your questions: 

1. What can I use to develop the PHP files locally, then test them?
Since PHP is a scripting language that is suited for web development and 
can be used to embed into HTML, you will need a local server to run your 
PHP code. You can check out the official installation and configuration 
guide that PHP offers on their official website here 
.

As for a code editor, there are plenty of free ones offered on the web. 
Typically, the one you use is based on preference.

2.Is it truly just creating the php files in a directory structure and 
declaring the app in the yaml file?

It depends on the size of your application, you may want to consult this 
documentation 
 
that highlights the configuration files required for PHP on App Engine 
standard. 

3.How do I setup my local environment?  I followed the instructions on 
this, yet I'm missing something because I don't see where I test it locally.

You may use the PHP development server for App Engine standard here 

 
for local testing. This local dev server stimulates how your application 
would run in production on App Engine. Additionally, the local development 
server simulates the services provided by the libraries in the SDK for App 
Engine (i.e: Datastore, Memcache, Task Queues, etc). You may follow the 
instructions to set this up here 

.

Side note: I believe it would be worth it for you to check out the 
differences between our two App Engine environments (Flexible vs Standard) 
here . 

I hope this helps!
