FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package migration-cli

Database Migrations (CLI)

This is a simple library written in PHP for database version control. Currently supports SQLite, MySQL, SQL Server and PostgreSQL.

Database Migration can be used as:

Command Line Interface
PHP Library to be integrated in your functional tests
Integrated in your CI/CD independent of your programming language or framework

Important Note

This package is the command line interface of ByJG PHP Migration.

Key Points:

This CLI tool requires PHP to run, but your project doesn't need to be written in PHP
You can use this tool with any programming language or framework
Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and database versioning independent of your stack

For PHP API Integration: If you want to integrate migrations directly into your PHP code (e.g., for automated testing or programmatic control), use the core migration library instead:

PHP API: byjg/migration - Full PHP library with programmatic API
CLI Tool (this package): byjg/migration-cli - Command line interface only

For complete information about the migration system, architecture, and advanced usage, visit the core project documentation: https://github.com/byjg/migration
