GAE，无法使PHP正常工作

Question

I need to set up a simple page on GAE, this is for someone who wants free hosting, basically. The page has a contact form, and I wrote a script in PHP. Ie: index.html, form action calls contact.php. Although placing the code on the index.html and calling that instead produced no results, anyway.

I can't figure out how to make PHP work on GAE. I tried changing the app.yaml settings several times, and either PHP is not recognized at all (even something simple like

<?php echo "test"; ?> 

produces no results) or the browser tries to force download the script.

Here's my current/last app.yaml:

application: [myappidentifier]
version: 1
runtime: php
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /
  static_files: index.html
  upload: index.html

- url: /contact.php*
  script: contact.php

- url: /(.*\.(gif|png|jpg|svg|ico|js|css))
  static_files: \1
  upload: (.*\.(gif|png|jpg|svg|ico|js|css))

I'm sure this is all my fault, somehow. :) How can I fix this so PHP works as intended on GAE?

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: Well, nix the PHP mail() approach, they've disabled it on GAE, it seems? https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/mail/

But still, PHP in general doesn't seem to be working with my current setup. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

You have an unnecessary * in your handler for contact.php, try changing it to:

- url: /contact.php
  script: contact.php

Also, the more common way of working on AppEngine, it not to use file extensions for scripts, so change your handler to:

- url: /contact
  script: contact.php

And then change your links and form destinations to /contact instead of /contact.php
