# Bundled PHP binaries

Place a static PHP binary for each target platform here. The Electron
app will use the bundled binary instead of requiring a system-wide PHP
installation.

## Download

Get static builds from https://dl.static-php.dev/static-php-cli/common/
(look for `php-8.3.*-cli-*` files). Required extensions: pdo_sqlite, zip, session.

    linux/php       — x86_64 Linux ELF binary
    darwin/php      — macOS aarch64 binary
    win32/php.exe   — Windows PE binary (not available from static-php-cli; use windows.php.net)

## Quick fetch

Use the included script from the `electron/` directory:

    ./fetch-php.sh

This auto-detects the latest PHP 8.3 version and downloads Linux + macOS binaries.
