Can I Run Simple PHP Code on Firebase Hosting?

Executing PHP Code on Firebase Hosting

A developer is attempting to implement a simple contact form using PHP on Firebase Hosting but encounters an issue where the PHP file is being downloaded instead of processed. The question arises: is simple PHP enabled on Firebase Hosting servers?

Answer:

As stated on the Firebase Hosting website, the service primarily handles static content such as HTML, JavaScript, images, and the like. Firebase does not offer the ability to execute custom code on its servers, including PHP.

Explanation:

Firebase Hosting is designed specifically for hosting static assets, ensuring fast and secure delivery over a CDN. It does not provide the necessary environment or runtime to execute dynamic code like PHP.

Update (2018-08-08):

While Firebase Hosting initially did not support dynamic code execution, it now allows for the integration of Node.js/JavaScript code through Cloud Functions Firebase Hosting. However, this does not extend to PHP code execution.
