PHPSandbox

Online Code sandbox for PHP with Composer packages support.

PHPSandbox launched on July 8, 2020 with 8 votes, #1,161 of 4,305 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.

What it does

PHPSandbox lets you create and test PHP projects right from the browser. It allows you to search and install Composer packages and a real environment to run and embed your prototypes. It supports different kinds of projects including Laravel out of the box.

Run PHP code online in a free PHP sandbox and editor. Test snippets, prototype projects, and share your work from the browser—no local setup required.

Take a product from its first working idea to a live application—and keep building in the same sandbox. Start from a configured Laravel sandbox and carry the same environment forward as the product grows. Create, configure, run, preview, and publish from the same sandbox. Create a fresh environment from a framework template, fork an existing sandbox, or import the repository you already own. Work with files, Composer, terminals, services, secrets, mail, and ports—the actual moving parts of a PHP application. Every sandbox can become a working preview. Share the product, test an integration, or make review concrete. Publish to managed containers, Laravel Cloud, or your own server without…from phpsandbox.io

  • Dumbo – Hono inspired framework for PHP2024 · github.com · ▲76

    Hey HN, I last PHP professionally over 15 years ago, and I loved it. I switched to Ruby on Rails, then Node/Go/React/GraphQL as there was a lot more demand for those roles. However, PHP is back! In true JavaScript fashion, I decided to learn PHP again by building a framework to put all the pieces together in my brain. I absolutely love Hono.dev, and decided to base the PHP framework on that. Dumbo isn't intended to compete with Laravel, Symphony or Slim, if anything, it's something people can use in production, but also contribute to and be used as a learning resource for…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
