Deploy your PHP app to Render
Step-by-step deployment help for PHP apps on Render. We fix PHP-specific deployment issues, configure Render, and get your app live. From $19.
PHP issues we fix before deploying
Common PHP problems that affect Render deployments.
SQL injection vulnerabilities
Direct variable interpolation in SQL queries instead of prepared statements or query builders, allowing attackers to read or modify database contents.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
User input echoed directly into HTML without htmlspecialchars() or template engine escaping, enabling script injection attacks.
Insecure file uploads
File upload handlers that only check MIME types without validating file content, allowing PHP shell uploads and remote code execution.
Deprecated function usage
AI tools generate code using deprecated functions like mysql_query, ereg, and create_function that are removed in modern PHP versions.
Render deployment issues we check for
Common Render problems that break PHP apps in production.
Free tier services spin down after 15 minutes
Render's free web services sleep after inactivity, causing 30-50 second cold starts that break webhook integrations and frustrate users.
Build command not set for monorepo projects
AI-generated monorepos lack a root directory or build filter configuration, causing Render to build from the wrong directory or skip the project entirely.
Persistent disk not attached for file uploads
User-uploaded files disappear on redeploy because AI tools write to the ephemeral filesystem instead of attaching a Render persistent disk.
Environment groups not linked across services
Database URLs and shared secrets are duplicated across services instead of using Render environment groups, leading to configuration drift.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a PHP app to Render?
We handle PHP deployments to Render end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your PHP project, then we configure Render, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What PHP issues affect Render deployments?
PHP projects commonly have sql injection vulnerabilities and cross-site scripting (xss). On Render, these combine with free tier services spin down after 15 minutes and build command not set for monorepo projects to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my PHP project to Render?
Yes. We specialize in deploying PHP applications to Render. We audit your codebase for PHP-specific issues, configure Render correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does PHP deployment to Render cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Render deployment blockers in your PHP project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
