Although PHP sessions seem to be pretty straightforward on the first sight, underestimating their complexity can lead to some hard to track problems.

In the third part of this tutorial series on developing PHP on Docker we'll lay the fundamentals to build a complete development infrastructure and explain how to "structure" the Docker setup as part of a PHP project. Structure as in

• folder structure ("what to put where")
• Dockerfile templates
• solving common problems (file permissions, runtime configuration, ...)

We will also create a minimal container setup consisting of php-fpm, nginx and a workspace container that we refactor from the previous parts of this tutorial.

Published parts of the Docker PHP Tutorial

• Setting up PHP, PHP-FPM and NGINX for local development on Docker (2018-07-08)
• Setting up PhpStorm with Xdebug for local development on Docker (2018-08-06)
• Structuring the Docker setup for PHP Projects (2019-05-20)

All code samples are publicly available in my Docker PHP Tutorial repository on github. The branch for this tutorial is part_3_structuring-the-docker-setup-for-php-projects.

Just recently I run into an issue on one of my projects which I gracefully solved using the Command pattern. The project has a lot of legacy code, and to avoid the pain of major refactoring we do it gradually, piece by piece.
