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-version-pickup
PHP Version Pickup
Set a PHP version used in a shell session through a .php-version file.
Vision
This tool is a small shell script to set the version of PHP
used in a shell session, by reading the expected version number
from a .php-version file.
This allows to handle multiple PHP versions in a local development environment and switch the version between projects on the fly. By pinning the version in a file it also allows team members to use same PHP version when working on a project.
The script is inspired by nvm use and
php-version. The former is made for
Node and does a lot more (build & install versions etc.). The letter works
perfectly well with PHP, but does not want to store files nor support PHP
versions installed by the OS package manager.
That's why this script was created.
The file .php-version is already used by popular PHP packages like
Symfony Server.
Key Features
- Set a PHP version for a shell session only (forget version in new shells, don't mangle system defaults)
- Pass the version to subscripts as well (run Composer with the selected version, Composer passes the version to other executed PHP scripts as well)
- Pick up the version from a
.php-versionfile - Support PHP versions installed via PPA
- Written in Bash, to pick versions before running PHP scripts
- Does not attempt to manage version used by the OS or webserver (Apache, Nginx)
Current limitations ✨ Feel free to send a PR to resolve them✨
- Mayor PHP version numbers only (
7.3,7.4, no7.3.10) - No
latestversion etc. - No installation of missing versions
- No automatic execution (
cdhook) - No display of locally available versions
- No display of remote available versions (all PHP version releases)
Requirements
- PHP (the script picks up existing PHP versions, it runs without PHP however as it is a shell script)
Installation
-
Clone the repository
-
»Source« the script
or add the line manually to your
.bashrcfile - 🏗️ Install multiple PHP versions (build manually, use the great PPA by Ondřej Surý, or use a tool like php-build or homebrew-php)
-
Create symlinks pointing the PHP versions locally available
This depends very much on the way you installed the multiple PHP versions. The general structure of each symlink is
$HOME/.php/versions/<version>/bin/php -> <path to desired version binary>The following example assumes you installed three versions via Ondřejs PPA. Adapt this to your own setup.
- 💡 You may want to add an alias as shortcut command to your
.bashrclikealias pvm="php-version-pickup"

Usage
The script reads the version from a file.
Create a version file in your project of choice
⚠ Right now only
mayor PHP release numbers are allowed,
which means something like 7.4 or 8.1 (not a specific version like 7.4.10).
Example to set PHP version 7.4 in a project:
(This is the same as running echo "7.4" > .php-version manually).
Pick up the version
Run php-version-pickup use in your directory to pick up the version number.
You should see a message telling you that a file was found and which version
is used in your shell session from now on.
Run php --version to check the version.
Now you can run PHP scripts, Composer, whatever with the set version.
🥏 Play around with the version file, open and close shells, run some PHP scripts and make yourself comfortable with this simple version picker.
Provide feedback
This script is a prototype and helped us in a very specific use case. Therefore, some limitations exists (see vision). Feel free to send some feedback or create a PR to enhance this script.
