 # Stage 2: Setup PHP Application Environment
-FROM ric_harvey/nginx-php-fpm:3.1.6 AS app
+FROM webdevops/php-nginx:8.2-alpine AS app

+# We will set our application root to /var/www/html and ensure Nginx config reflects this.

 # Install system dependencies and PHP extensions
-# The ric_harvey/nginx-php-fpm image should have most common extensions.
-# We'll add pdo_mysql, gd, zip, bcmath, exif, opcache, intl if they are not present.
-# This often requires root access, then dropping back to www-data.
-# The exact commands depend on the base image's package manager (apk for Alpine).
+# webdevops images are comprehensive. Many extensions are pre-installed or can be enabled via env vars.
+# We'll ensure pdo_mysql, gd, zip, bcmath, exif, opcache, intl are available.
+# The `docker-php-ext-install` approach should still work for missing extensions.
+# $PHPIZE_DEPS are build dependencies for compiling extensions.
