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 phpswitcher
PHP Switcher
A simple CLI tool to manage multiple PHP versions on macOS using Homebrew. (Currently only supports macOS with Homebrew. Linux/Windows support is planned).
Features
- Install specific PHP versions (via Homebrew).
- Switch the active linked PHP version (via Homebrew).
Prerequisites
- macOS: The current version only supports macOS.
- Homebrew: Required for installing and managing PHP versions. Ensure it's installed: https://brew.sh/
Installation (Recommended)
Run the following command in your terminal to download and execute the installation script:
Follow any prompts from the script. You may need to enter your password for sudo commands if installing to a system-wide directory like /usr/local/bin.
After installation, open a new terminal session or run source ~/.zshrc (or the equivalent for your shell, like source ~/.bash_profile) and verify with:
Installation from Source (for Development)
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/rawdreeg/phpswitcher.git - Navigate into the project directory:
cd phpswitcher. - Run the local setup script:
bash install.sh. Note: Running the script locally like this is intended for development. It checks dependencies and builds the PHAR in thebin/directory. - Test commands using the locally built executable:
./bin/phpswitcher install 8.2.
Usage
(Currently supports macOS/Homebrew only)
Install a PHP version:
Similar to the use command, if you are in a directory containing a composer.json file with a PHP requirement, you can omit the <version> argument to automatically detect and install the required X.Y version.
Switch active PHP version:
If you are in a directory containing a composer.json file with a PHP requirement (require.php or config.platform.php), you can omit the <version> argument, and phpswitcher will attempt to detect and use the appropriate X.Y version.
Check active PHP version (after switching):
Development
- Clone the repository.
- Navigate into the project directory:
cd phpswitcher. - Install dependencies:
composer install. - Run the setup script (this installs dependencies including Homebrew if missing):
bash install.sh. - Run commands directly using the local executable:
./bin/phpswitcher install 8.2.
