how can i create a php file that runs php artisan migrate command?

Question

I want to create a php file in public directory that runs php artisan migrate:fresh (--seed) command in server. when I upload my project to FTP server I want to open that link (ex: www.project.com/migration.php) and that file should run migration and/or seed files. is it possible if it is how can I do that?

btw I use Laravel 7.28 version

You should probably add it to your deploy script rather than adding it to an endpoint (why on earth would you do that?) — HTMHell, Dec 19 '20 at 12:10

You can call artisan commands like this in functions or even in routes!

public function callArtisanCommands()
{
    \Artisan::call('cache:clear');
    \Artisan::call('view:clear');
    \Artisan::call('route:clear');
    \Artisan::call('migrate:fresh');
}

Create a route that calls the Artisan command:

Route::get('migrate', function () {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('migrate:fresh --seed --force');
});

Added the --force parameter because in a production environment migrations need to be confirmed.
