Do Microsoft Azure Services support PHP for development and integration?

Absolutely, Microsoft Azure supports PHP integration and provides robust tools for deploying and managing PHP applications. Here are some key points:

• Azure App Service: Azure App Service allows you to host PHP web apps, APIs, and mobile backends. It supports PHP versions 7.4 and 8.0 on Linux. You can configure your PHP app, set the PHP version, and use tools like Composer for dependency management.

If you're looking to integrate PHP with Azure, these resources provide a solid foundation. Azure provides support for specific PHP versions and beside the available versions, no version is supported. The supported PHP versions can be obtained using the Azure CLI commands mentioned below,

az webapp list-runtimes | grep php

Once a newer version found, you can use the below mentioned command in Azure CLI,

az webapp config set --name <app-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --php-version <supported version>
