+#### docker-compose file description
+
+We have three services (containers) in docker-compose, PHP 8.0 with Apache web server, MySQL database, and PhpMyAdmin.
+
+These containers are going to connect together via `pm_net (bridge)` network.
+Each of these have their own static IPs. Of course their ports are exposed to be accessed later.
+
+Note that we have a `command` attribute in `php` service. This command tells the container to install `pdo_mysql` PHP extension to deal with MySQL through PHP by `PDO` Class. Running the command is important if you are using `PDO` class to access the database.
+
+
+## Deploy with docker-compose
+
+```
+$ docker-compose up -d
+Creating network "php-mysql-apache_pm_net" with driver "bridge"
+Creating php_container ... done
+Creating mysql_container ... done
+Creating pma_container   ... done
+Attaching to php_container, mysql_container, pma_container
+...
+...
+```
+
+**Important: Running `docker-compose up` may take a few moments to start, due to installing `pdo_mysql` extension. So be patient.**
+
+## Expected result
+
+Listing containers must show three containers running and the port mapping as below:
+```
+$ docker ps
+CONTAINER ID   IMAGE            COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                                                                                    NAMES
+edb55669d222   phpmyadmin       "/docker-entrypoint.…"   2 minutes ago   Up 2 minutes   0.0.0.0:8003->80/tcp, :::8003->80/tcp                                                    pma_container
+14359ec051f8   mysql            "docker-entrypoint.s…"   2 minutes ago   Up 2 minutes   0.0.0.0:8001->3306/tcp, :::8001->3306/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8002->33060/tcp, :::8002->33060/tcp   mysql_container
+bc2d05ab3dc2   php:8.0-apache   "docker-php-entrypoi…"   2 minutes ago   Up 2 minutes   0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcp, :::8000->80/tcp                                                    php_container
+```
+
+After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser to run `index.php` file or run:
+```
+$ curl localhost:8000
+Hello World
+```
+
+You see that it's just a simple Hello-world string, but some queries happens under the hood. First the application connects to MySQL with `pdo_mysql` php extension, after that, it checks the database if `MyDatabase` exists or not. Then creates a table, inserts data as `Hello world` into it, and PHP application fetches the data and shows the output by the browser.
+
+If you want to access `PhpMyAdmin` navigate to `http://localhost:8003` in your browser.
+
+Stop and remove the containers
+```
+$ docker-compose down
+```
