Phing is a PHP-based build tool that uses XML files to define build processes. It provides tasks to automate common build operations and can be extended through PHP classes. Phing builds are platform independent and only require PHP 5 to run. The document demonstrates how to install Phing and its dependencies, and outlines the basic structure of Phing build files which define targets containing tasks to execute as part of the build.

PHing Is Not GNU make; it's a PHP project build
system or build tool based on Apache Ant. You can do
anything with it that you could do with a traditional
build system like GNU make, and its use of simple
XML build files and extensible PHP "task" classes
make it an easy-to-use and highly flexible build
framework.
