Azure Functions to execute PHP sripts/file

Question

Hi I would like to execute a php file to get data from an API endpoint. The php file contains the apikey but I need a functions to execute this php file. I try to use .net with c# code to execute the php file.

But the php does not executed when I try to run php api.php in the terminal. Is there any documents I can refer to so that I can execute the php file using Azure Functions?

Thanks so much for your input!

Azure Functions doesnt have php language handler by default. However you can use Azure Functions custom handlers, this would suit your requirement. With custom handlers, you can use triggers and input and output bindings via extension bundles.

Please refer to the below github repository that has a php sample code running on custom handler

I hope this helps!
