See https://github.com/php/web-php/#local-development

Alternatively, the generated files can also be fetched from your nearest mirror, see the following instructions

Setting up an official (or unofficial) mirror is described within the official mirror page. However, setting up your own mirror via SVN is possible too and is especially helpful for those working on the PHP website.

Save the following shell script as phpweb.sh Then execute ./phpweb.sh

And wait for ca 10 minutes.

#!/bin/sh
mkdir ~/php.net
cd ~/php.net
 
# Checkout the manual base sources
git clone https://github.com/php/doc-base.git
# Checkout the english manual sources
git clone https://github.com/php/doc-en.git en
# Checkout PHD to build documentation
git clone https://github.com/php/phd.git phd
# Checkout the actual website (does not include /distribution, thats a gigantic separate repo)
git clone https://github.com/php/web-php.git phpweb
cd phpweb
