🔀 switch-php
Easily switch between PHP versions on your Mac. Requires Homebrew and works with Laravel Valet.
⬇️️️ Installation:
Installing switch-php
is as easy as running:
npm install --global switch-php
If you use Yarn, you can do this:
yarn global add switch-php
Alternatively you can move the switch-php.sh
file from this repo into your home directory and add this line in your .bashrc
/.zshrc
/etc.:
source ~/switch-php.sh
⚙ Usage:
You must have PHP installed via Homebrew in order for switch-php
to work. switch-php
also works really well with Laravel Valet, but Valet is not a requirement in order to use switch-php
.
Here's an example of how you would use switch-php
:
$ switch-php 7.1 -v -m 512M
switch-php
-> The main command. (Required)7.1
-> Specify the version of PHP you want to switch too, in this casephp71
. (Required)-v
-> Request verbose output (Optional)-m 512M
-> Request a custom PHP memory setting. If you don't pass an additional arugment, the memory will be reset to the Valet default. (Optional)
Here's the full list of versions/options:
Usage:
version [options] [arguments]
Options:
-h, --help Display the help message
-v, --verbose Display more info during the process
-m, --memory Customize the PHP memory setting (Valet only)
Available Versions:
5.6 Switch to php@5.6
7.0 Switch to php@7.0
7.1 Switch to php@7.1
7.2 Switch to php@7.2
7.3 Switch to php@7.3
7.4 Switch to php@7.4
🎛 Customizing the PHP Memory Settings:
- If you don't pass an argument to
-m
or--memory
, it will reset any previously set custom memory settings to the default Valet config. - Alternatively, you can pass an argument to
-m
or--memory
if you want to override the default Valet memory settings. For example, you can do:
switch-php 7.1 -m 512M # php@7.1 with 512MB of memory
switch-php 7.3 -m 2G -v # php@7.3 with 2GB of memory; verbose output
switch-php 5.6 --memory=1G # php@5.6 with 1GB of memory
- Note: customizing PHP memory settings currently only works for Laravel Valet users. If you don't use Valet, we hope to get this working for you as well in an upcoming release.
