First, prepare Maven and follow the preparation instructions.
Next, type the following Maven goal in your command line and execute it
mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.phpmaven \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=php5-lib-archetype \ -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.1 \ -DgroupId=org.sample \ -DartifactId=my-app \ -Dversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
After some time maven will ask to confirm the parameters. The result will look like this:
my-app |-- pom.xml `-- src |-- main | `-- php | `-- org | `-- sample | `-- app.php |`-- test | `-- php | `-- org | `-- sample | `-- apptest.php `-- site |-- site.xml `-- apt `-- index.apt

What have I just done?
You have just executed the Maven goal archetype:generate and passed various parameters to that goal. The prefix archetype is the plugin containing the goal. This goal created a default project structure for your PHP project.
Switch to your sample project directory
cd my-app
and run:
mvn package
The command line will print out various actions, ending with the following:
... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 6 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Thu Jul 20 19:15:06 CDT 2008 [INFO] Final Memory: 3M/6M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maven created a phar package under the project's target folder.
