# PHP
## Step 1: Import your Git repository
Go to the [ToyStack Dashboard](https://dashboard.toystack.ai) and create a new project using your repository.
## Step 2: Select PHP as your Framework Preset
ToyStack can automatically deploy your PHP projects. Simply select `PHP` as the preset while deploying the application.
If you run into issues or you'd like to use your custom configuration, you can use `DOCKER` as the framework instead. You can read more about it in the [Deploying with Docker](https://docs.toystack.ai/get-started/deploying-with-docker) page.
## Step 3: Specify Build Commands
There may be framework specific build commands that are needed for your application. You can specify that in the configuration.
## Step 4: Input environment variables
{% hint style="info" %}
Please ensure the `PORT` number matches the one specified in your app or`Dockerfile`
{% endhint %}
For detailed instructions, please see the [Environment Variables](https://docs.toystack.ai/get-started/environment-variables-setup) page.
## Step 5: Choose a plan
## Step 6: Deploy
Simply select the branch you want to deploy, its deployment validity and ToyStack will deploy it
