Web app generator with PHP

Yeoman generator that scaffolds out a front-end web app with a PHP back-end.

Based on generator-webapp. Adds a /app/api folder containing a sample RESTful PHP API. The API is available under /api URL. `During development, the PHP API is served by PHP built-in web server and integrated seamlessly into the existing connect configuration. Integration is done with grunt-connect-proxy and a patched version of grunt-php (see PR #15 for details).

Note: We are regularly asked whether we can add or take away features. If a change is good enough to have a positive impact on all users, we are happy to consider it.

If not, generator-webapp-php is fork-friendly and you can always maintain a custom version which you npm install && npm link to continue using via yo webapp-php or a name of your choosing.
