In-browser, standalone console that executes your PHP code and returns the produced output. This package is based on package darsain/laravel-console.

• Installation
• Configuration
• Evaluators
• Authorizers
• Queries callback
• Laravel support

Get package through composer:

composer require meebio/php-eval-console

Copy vendor/meebio/php-eval-console/assets to assets in project root directory.

Create index.php in project root directory with following content:

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Meebio\PhpEvalConsole\Console;

$console = new Console();
$console->boot();

Open index.php page in browser.

Basic evaluator that uses eval command. This is entirely not secure.

More advanced php evaluator that make use of fieryprophet/php-sandbox package. This sandbox class utilizes PHP-Parser to prevent sandboxed code from running unsafe code. If configured properly this evaluator could probably allow application to be exposed to public users. To use this evaluator require fieryprophet/php-sandbox package in composer.

This authorizer ensures that only access from provided ips is possible. Authorizer constructor takes to arguments first is array of allowed ips (null if this check should be disabled) and second is array of disallowed ips (null if this check should be disabled).

Closure that will provide array of queries after code evaluation. Returned data should be in following format:

array(
    array(
        'query' => 'SELECT * FROM `users`;',
        'time'  => 0.113,
    ),
    array(
        'query' => 'SELECT * FROM `posts` JOIN `category` ON `post`.`category_id` = `category`.`id`;',
        'time'  => 0.231,
    ),
);

You should install the package through Composer:

composer require meebio/php-eval-console

You must add service provider to app config:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Meebio\PhpEvalConsole\Providers\PhpEvalConsoleLaravelServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

You can publish package assets through artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Meebio\PhpEvalConsole\Providers\PhpEvalConsoleLaravelServiceProvider"

or just copy directory vendor/meebio/php-eval-console/assets to public/vendor/php-eval-console.

Last thing that should be done is to make sure CSRF Protection is not blocking console post requests. To do that in Laravel 5.1 you should add console URI to be excluded in VerifyCsrfToken class. So it looks something like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken as BaseVerifier;

class VerifyCsrfToken extends BaseVerifier
{
    /**
     * The URIs that should be excluded from CSRF verification.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $except = [
        'console',
    ];
}

For lower versions of Laravel, that can be done as well, but some manual method overriding is needed.

When everything is done you should see Console at /console uri.
