## What it is
A Debian 8 Vagrant box image preconfigured for testing PHP apps and developing extensions across multiple PHP versions, with documentation and helper scripts. It provides a ready-to-run virtualized PHP development environment via VirtualBox and Vagrant.

## Use cases
- set up a php 7 development environment quickly
- test php apps across multiple php versions
- develop php extensions in an isolated vm
- spin up a vagrant box for php testing
- reproduce a consistent php dev environment

## When to choose
- you need a prebuilt PHP 7 test environment on Vagrant/VirtualBox
- you want to test code against many PHP versions in isolation

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or updated PHP environment (last release 2016)
- you use Docker or native PHP tooling instead of Vagrant
- you need PHP 8+ support

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: abandoned
- function: infrastructure-as-code, developer-tools, testing
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: windows, self-hosted
