2. Usage

Start a new container

To start a new container for PHP 7.2, simply run

php72

Alternatively, you can also run:

docker-start 72

If an existing container is running on port 80, that container will be stopped.

Run multiple containers

Assuming you currently have the PHP 7.2 container running on port 80, but want to test your app in PHP 5.6, you can run:

php56 8056

Alternatively, you can also run:

docker-start 56 8056

This will start a new container for PHP 5.6 on port 8056. If an existing container is running on the same port when explicitly specifying a port (even if it's 80), an error will occur and the new container will fail to start.

Stopping containers

To stop all PHP containers, run:

docker-stop

Which will run docker stop for all containers with a name matching php

Removing containers

To remove all PHP containers, run:

docker-rm

Which will run docker rm for all containers with a name matching php
