部署一个php项目

Question

A newbie to php development looking for help in deploying a php project in Apache server.

I am wonering how to put the php project that is in MVC structure into my Apache server. Say suppose it's a java project then i would export the whole project (with libs, source files etc) as a war file and then deploy the war in the server. My question is, in what format should the php project be put in so that it is up and active running on the server.

Help on this would be really useful to have my project up and running for users. Thanks !

Short answer: Nothing such as WARs in Java or other kinds of "packaging" is needed for PHP scripts. Your server has a special directory set as document root for the web server, you simply place your files inside it (or a subdirectory in it) and you're done.

There are however multiple ways how to bring your files into that directory.
