Workflows are automated with GitHub Actions and connect to IONOS shared hosting infrastructure. An automatic setup with default workflows are available for Laravel and Symfony. Set up a <code>PHP project</code> in Deploy Now for PHP scripting at runtime and a MariaDB for each deployment. </p>\n<p><img src=\"/04_PHP_apps_via_GitHub.gif\" alt=\"PHP Projects in Deploy Now\"></p>\n<h2 id=\"supported-frameworks\"><a href=\"#supported-frameworks\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"icon icon-link\"></span></a>Supported frameworks</h2>\n<p>Deploy Now can host any PHP Application built with Composer and Node.js, see <a href=\"https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/github-language-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">languages supported by GitHub Actions</a>. Setting up Content Management System such as WordPress is possible, but does not yet come with automated, prefilled setups. </p>\n<h3 id=\"laravel\"><a href=\"#laravel\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"icon icon-link\"></span></a>Laravel</h3>\n<p>After you connect your Laravel repository, Deploy Now suggests you build steps you can adapt to your liking. It might help you to deploy our <a href=\"/docs/framework-samples/#laravel-sample\">laravel sample project</a> for a completely prefilled setup including build steps, prefilled <code>.env</code>, <code>.htaccess</code>, file persistency management and automated runtime commands before and after each deployment.
