Introduction

Installing the PHP AMP will allow users to create and execute PHP templates and scripts along side the already provided JavaScript and FreeMarker scripts and templates.

The Alfresco PHP API used is identical to that provided in the PHP library, so common scripts can be used in either environment.

With additional configuration once the AMP is installed, it is possible to allow the application server to host PHP applications directly.  PHP application hosted in this manner will also have access to the Alfresco PHP API.  See Enabling Alfresco PHP Server for more details.
