SharePoint Online and PHP Pages

Question

We currently have an html Intranet on which we have links to PHP search and response pages connected to a MS Access database (created with PHPRunner).

I have been tasked with recreating our Intranet in SharePoint Online. I am new to SharePoint and have watched a couple of online classes. Aside from the lack of formatting options, so far the only issue I'm having is with the PHP pages. When I upload the PHP pages and link to them what is displayed is the PHP code not the search form. Is it even possible to use PHP within the SharePoint Online environment? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You cannot execute PHP pages on a SharePoint Online site (as there must be a PHP server to run the code).

The search feature in SharePoint Online is quite extensive (see below for more information):

If you are looking to create forms in Microsoft (instead of using PHP) you can look at using Microsoft Forms:
