PHP Sandbox

The sandbox action provides a simple way to write PHP code which gets directly executed on the server. This can be useful if you want to build fast a first prototype endpoint. Note by default the sandbox action is deactivated, to activate the action you need to set the env FUSIO_PHP_SANDBOX to on. The following shows a simple action which returns all data from the request.

<?php

$method = $request->getMethod();
$headers = $request->getHeaders();
$uriFragments = $request->getUriFragments();
$body = $request->getBody();

// returns a configured connection, in case of a SQL connection this returns a doctrine DBAL instance which you could
// now use to query the database
//$connection = $connector->getConnection('mysql');

return $response->build(200, [], [
    'method' => $method,
    'headers' => $headers,
    'uriFragments' => $uriFragments,
    'body' => get_class($body),
]);

Please take a look at our PHP API to get a complete overview about all available functions.

Note at the sandbox action we use for security reasons also a sandbox which allows you to use only specific whitelisted functions and classes. Please take a look at the Sandbox component for more information. In general if your logic is more complex it is recommended to develop a custom action.
