Reads configuration and builds required project files (Dockerfile, docker-compose).
Spins up the PHP (and optionally Nginx/database) containers for your project.
Automatically mounts your project directory.
Creates a /sqlite folder in your project root if you have selected SQLite as your database. This folder is used to store your development SQLite database files, ensuring that your database persists across container rebuilds and is easily accessible for backups or inspection.

Container configuration is determined only at build time.
To apply changes to config or options, destroy and rebuild your environment.
Project name becomes the Docker prefix (e.g., projectname-php).
Requires Docker running.

MySQL: Database data is stored inside a data/[projectname]/mysql folder created by the environment, (outside your project) allowing MySQL data persistence between container restarts.
SQLite: If you enable the SQLite database option, a sqlite folder will automatically be created in the root of your project (if it doesn't already exist). This folder is used to store your SQLite database files. You should add this folder to your .gitignore if you do not wish to track database state in version control.
