bext-php

Embedded PHP runtime for bext — custom SAPI linking libphp via Rust FFI.

Part of the bext stack.

[dependencies]
bext-php = "0.2"

What this crate is

bext-php embeds the PHP runtime directly into bext via a custom SAPI (Server API). PHP requests are handled in-process, without spawning php-fpm subprocesses or even a fork. OPcache is preserved between requests for near-zero latency on the hot path.

Use cases

WordPress / Laravel / Symfony hosting without a separate php-fpm.
Migrating from nginx + php-fpm to a single bext binary.
Multi-tenant PHP — isolation via bext's platform layer.

Build requirements

You need libphp headers on the build machine. See the README in the bext monorepo for platform-specific setup.
