+# PHP On IIS
+
+## What is PHP
+
+PHP (PHP: Hypertext Processor) is a server side scripting language as well as web framework that can be used to develop applications ranging from simple to complex.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To add a PHP application into the container, first put the application content into a folder named _content_ and then append the following commands to the dockerfile located within this directory
+
+```Dockerfile
+# PHP dockerfile
+# The content of the docker file will be here
+# Add your content below
+
+WORKDIR /inetpub/wwwroot
+
+COPY ./content .
+``` 
+
+You can then build the image:
+
+```
+docker build -t iis-php .
+docker run -d -p 80:00 --name my-php-site iis-php
+```
+
+## Testing PHP
+
+To test the PHP functionality of the container without the need for a PHP application uncomment the following _RUN_ line within the docker file
+
+```
+# Optional: Add a starter page
+# RUN powershell.exe -Command "'<?php phpinfo(); ?>' | Out-File C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpinfo.php" -Encoding UTF8
+```
+
+Once the container is running, navigate to http://\<container host name\>/phpinfo.php
+
+The generic php info page should be returned from the container. This verifies that PHP is functioning as expected.
