Cookbook

A cookbook of things you might want to do with PhpVersionBuilder.

Run the script

$ php run.php

Only build PHP 5.3 versions

1. Open inc/config.php
2. Change $php_versions to array(‘5.3.0’);

Pass in configure options to every build

1. Open inc/config.php
2. It’ll be something like
   

   
   $config_options_all = array(
   	'--disable-all', 
           '--enable-mbstring',
   	'--disable-cgi', 
   	'--enable-cli',
   );
   

Pass in branch (e.g., 5.2, 5.3) specific configure options

1. Open inc/config.php
2. Change $config_options_versions to something like:
   

   
   $config_options_versions = array(
   	'5.2' => '--with-foo',
   	'5.3' => '--enable-bar',
   );

Pass in options before configure

1. Open inc/config.php
2. Change the following to something like:
   

   
   define ('PRE_CONFIGURE', 'EXTRA_FLAGS=-lfoo');
   

Execute a PHP script with all built versions, and output as HTML colored by output

1. Place your code in a PHP file
2. Use execute_php.php that’s located inside PhpVersionBuilder
3. Execute it, someone what like the following:
   

   
   $ ./execute_php.php mycode.php html > output.html
   

4. Then you might copy it to docroot and view, or open using ‘open’ or ‘firefox’ like so:
   

   
   $ firefox output.html
   $ open output.html
   

5. Note: Several test PHP scripts to test output live in scripts/out/
