phpenv-windows - PHP multi-version installation and management for Windows PowerShell.

Key features:

• Inspired by the totally awesome phpenv for *nix
• Install php directly from the php archive, saves you time
• Easily customizable configuration options, gives you freedom
• Includes Apache apxs support and switching versions, as you wish
• Installs pear and pyrus for each installation (where supported), as you prefer
• Developed by humans for humans, just like you

How It Works

As phpenv for Linux phpenv-windows operates on the per-user directory ~/.phpenv. Version names in phpenv correspond to subdirectories of ~/.phpenv/versions. For example, you might have ~/.phpenv/versions/5.3.8 and ~/.phpenv/versions/5.4.0.

Each version is a working tree with its own binaries, like ~/.phpenv/versions/5.4.0/bin/php. phpenv-windows makes shim binaries for every such binary across all installed versions of PHP.

These shims are simple wrapper scripts that live in ~/.phpenv/shims and detect which PHP version you want to use. They insert the directory for the selected version at the beginning of your $PATH and then execute the corresponding binary.

Because of the simplicity of the shim approach, all you need to use phpenv is ~/.phpenv/shims in your $PATH which will do the version switching automagically.

Installation

Basic GitHub Checkout

This will get you going with the latest version of phpenv and make it easy to fork and contribute any changes back upstream.

1. Check out phpenv into $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules\phpenv (This path should be found in your $env:PSModulePath variable).

    $ cd
    $ git clone git://github.com/tobias-trozowski/phpenv-windows.git $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules\phpenv
   

2. Add ~/.phpenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the phpenv command-line utility.

In $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 add:

if ([System.IO.File]::Exists((Get-Module -ListAvailable phpenv).path)) {
    Import-Module (Get-Module -ListAvailable phpenv).path 3>$null
}

3. Restart your shell so the path changes take effect. You can now begin using phpenv.

4. Rebuild the shim binaries. You should do this any time you install a new PHP binary.

    $ phpenv rehash
   

Upgrading

If you've installed phpenv using the instructions above, you can upgrade your installation at any time using git.

To upgrade to the latest development version of phpenv, use git pull:

$ cd $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules\phpenv
$ git pull

Usage

Install-PhpenvVersion

You can list the available PHP releases by running:

Not yet supported.

To install one of the listed releases run:

$ Install-PhpenvVersion 5.3.20

This command will checkout a branch to install that release to its own subdirectory in ~/.phpenv/versions/

Get-PhpenvVersion -Global, Set-PhpenvVersion -Global

Works the same way phpenv global and phpenv local does.

Sets the global version of PHP to be used in all shells by writing the version name to the ~/.phpenv/version file. This version can be overridden by a per-project .phpenv-version file, or by setting the PHPENV_VERSION environment variable.

$ Set-PhpenvVersion -Global 5.4.0

The special version name system tells phpenv to use the system PHP (detected by searching your $PATH).

Get-PhpenvVersion -Global reports the currently configured global version.

Get-PhpenvVersion -Local, Set-PhpenvVersion -Local

Sets a local per-project PHP version by writing the version name to a .phpenv-version file in the current directory. This version overrides the global, and can be overridden itself by setting the PHPENV_VERSION environment variable.

$ Set-PhpenvVersion -Local 5.3.8

Get-PhpenvVersion -Local reports the currently configured local version. You can also unset the local version:

$ Clear-PhpenvVersion -Local

List-PhpenvVersions

Lists all PHP versions known to phpenv, and shows an asterisk next to the currently active version.

$ List-PhpenvVersions
  5.2.8
  5.3.13
* 5.4.0 (set by /YOUR-USERNAME/.phpenv/global)

Get-PhpenvVersion

Displays the currently active PHP version, along with information on how it was set.

$ phpenv version
5.4.0 (set by /YOUR-USERNAME/.phpenv/version)
