PHPBrew Introduction

PHPBrew

Let me tell you a scenario...

Compiling the PHP from source

  • For tests

    • Including extension tests and version tests

  • For tests about contributing php-src

Building PHP-7.4 from source

# Example for Ubuntu, Linux distribution

# Install some required C/C++ libraries and C/C++ building tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential


# Building the PHP-7.4 from source
cd /tmp
wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-7.4.0.tar.gz
tar xfz php-7.4.0.tar.gz

./configure --prefix=/opt/php-7.4 \
            --with-pdo-pgsql \
            --with-zlib-dir \
            --with-freetype \
            --enable-mbstring \
            --enable-soap \
            --enable-calendar \
            --with-curl \
            --with-zlib \
            --enable-gd \
            --with-pgsql \
            --disable-rpath
......
 
 make -j 4 && make install

There'are many configuring options, right?

With PHPBrew

curl -L -O https://github.com/phpbrew/phpbrew/releases/latest/download/phpbrew.phar
chmod +x phpbrew.phar

# Move phpbrew.phar to somewhere can be found by your $PATH
sudo mv phpbrew.phar /usr/local/bin/phpbrew
phpbrew init

# I assume you're using bash
echo "[[ -e ~/.phpbrew/bashrc ]] && source ~/.phpbrew/bashrc" >> ~/.bashrc

# For the first-time installation, you don't have phpbrew shell function yet.
source ~/.phpbrew/bashrc

# Fetch the release list from official php site...
phpbrew update

# List available releases
phpbrew known

# List available variants
phpbrew variants

# Let's brew something out.
phpbrew --debug install --stdout 7.4 as 7.4-dev +default +intl

    • "corneltek/cliframework": "3.0.x-dev#01cee2d491085cfae63c677611b5e4604624771e"
