Link with other containers

To use this image to link with MySQL, you have to have a running MySQL instance, more information about MySQL docker image, please refer to official MySQL image at https://store.docker.com/images/mysql⁠. Suppose you have a MySQL instance named mysql_server, we can link it in our php instance with the name mysql like this:

docker run --name php -v /path/to/web:/var/www/html --link mysql_server:mysql -d tommylau/php:7.2

Then in the instance, you can use the hostname mysql to connect to the database.
