Advanced PHP Configuration Options

This engine exposes configuration options through the boxfile.yml, a yaml config file used to provision and configure your app's infrastructure when using Nanobox. Being a generic PHP engine, there are a lot of configuration options to try to allow compatibility with as many PHP apps as possible. This engine makes the following options available.
