How to deploy a sample PHP application to App Engine

Example 1: Using Cloud Shell in GCP Cloud console and existing project

## Enable Google App Engine Admin API GCP Console -> APIs & Services -> Library Type App Engine Admin API Click on the result App Engine Admin API Note if "ENABLE" button is shown, if yes, means it was not yet enable, click it to enable the API. If "MANAGE" is shown, means already enabled Open cloud shell In the cloud shell: gcloud auth list gcloud config list project git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/php-docs-samples.git cd php-docs-samples/appengine/standard/helloworld/ gcloud app deploy gcloud app browse note the app URL listed in the output of that command, browse accordingly

Example 2: Using Cloud SDK and creating new project
