FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package php-src-devtools
:elephant: php-src-devtools :whale:
Tools to make it easier to contribute to PHP itself (php-src). Uses Docker containers for building, running and testing PHP from source.
Why?
Even though there is a thriving open source community for projects written in PHP, only a very limited number of these people contribute to PHP itself. This can partly be explained by the fact that contributing to PHP internals is quite different from contributing to a PHP project: it uses a different language (C instead of PHP), different tools, and another workflow.
This project aims to remove some of these barriers for PHP developers to become PHP core developers:
- Compiling and testing PHP within a Docker container removes the need to install any build dependencies, which can clutter your system or not be easily available for your OS. In particular, it provides a greatly simplified path to get started for Windows users.
- Most PHP developers will be used to installing tools like this using Composer.
- Using tools that PHP developers might be already using (Symfony Console and Docker) provides a familiar experience.
- The console application abstracts some of the necessary build steps away, and makes the possible actions discoverable.
For more information about contributing to PHP, see the slides for my "Getting started with PHP core development" conference talk.
Prerequisites
Ensure that Docker is installed and running on your system.
Installation
The easiest way to install this tool is as a global composer package:
Alternatively, clone or download this repository somewhere, run composer install to install dependencies, and ensure that php-src-devtools is on your PATH.
Usage
In the folder that contains your clone of php-src, run:
php-src-devtools buildto build PHP. Note that the initial build may take about an hour.php-src-devtools testto run the full PHP testsuite. You can usephp-src-devtools test path/to/test.phptto run a single test, orphp-src-devtools test ext/footo test a single extension.php-src-devtools phpto run the compiled PHP CLI, e.g.php-src-devtools php -ifor phpinfo.php-src-devtools listto see all subcommands, orphp-src-devtools helpfor additional help.
Status
This tool is still in a pretty experimental stage, but the basic things like building PHP from source and running tests should work fine. Please try it out and report any issues and possible improvements that you encounter. Pull requests are welcome.
