## PHP Version Management Using PHPV on Arch Linux
### Introduction
Managing PHP versions on Arch Linux systems (including Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux, and ArcoLinux) can be challenging. This comprehensive tutorial introduces PHPV, a tool designed to simplify the process of installing, updating, and switching PHP versions efficiently. Follow these steps to streamline your PHP version management on Arch Linux.
### Installation Guide
#### Downloading PHPV
For a quick and efficient installation, use the following command:
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Its-Satyajit/phpv/main/install.sh | bash
```
**Tip:** Ensure you have `curl` installed on your system. If not, install it using `sudo pacman -S curl`.
#### Manual Installation (Optional)
Follow these steps for manual installation:
1. **Clone the Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Its-Satyajit/phpv.git
```
**Suggestion:** Verify that `git` is installed. If not, install it with `sudo pacman -S git`.
2. **Navigate and Grant Permissions:**
```bash
cd phpv
chmod +x phpv
```
**Tip:** Always check the permissions of the script before executing it to ensure it’s safe to run.
3. **Install PHPV:**
```bash
mv phpv $HOME/bin/phpv
```
**Suggestion:** If `$HOME/bin` does not exist, create it using `mkdir -p $HOME/bin`.
4. **Update Shell Configuration:**
Add the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile):
```bash
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
```
**Tip:** Use a text editor like `nano` or `vim` to edit your shell configuration file. For example, `nano ~/.bashrc`.
5. **Refresh Terminal:**
```bash
source ~/.bashrc # Replace with your appropriate shell command
```
**Suggestion:** If you use a different shell, update the corresponding configuration file (e.g., `~/.zshrc` for Zsh).
### Usage
#### Installing/Updating/Reinstalling PHP Versions
To install, update, or reinstall PHP versions, use the following command:
```bash
phpv -i
```
Replace `` with the desired shorthand (e.g., 80 for 8.0, 74 for 7.4).
**Tip:** Always check for the latest PHP versions and their shorthand notations to keep your environment up to date.
**Install**
**Update/Reinstall**
#### Switching PHP Versions
To switch PHP versions, use the following command:
```bash
phpv
```
Replace `` with the desired shorthand.
**Suggestion:** After switching versions, verify the PHP version with `php -v` to ensure the correct version is active.
**Switch**
### Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with the c-client dependency, follow the steps outlined below for manual installation.
#### Pre-built Binary for Easy Resolution
Download the pre-built c-client binary from PHPV:
- [c-client-2007f-20-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst](https://github.com/Its-Satyajit/phpv/blob/main/c-client/c-client-2007f-20-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst)
**Verification (Optional):**
Verify the binary's integrity using the following hash values:
- MD5: 96d92a8b98afd78d2f2c80f8b0d76473
- SHA1: 4451582984bf02b1b78425b75100ca20018c8557
- SHA256: c6c9a0a411f476be1357f5aad8db897ce4d47f3f78757acd2aade3e477e2fe4d
- SHA512: 9628031b0f0efe4024c515f0a882418d7665b3267644f3bf0f12adbc5f200a9cca3049ab218be176ae8562673edca46190ca44de1154a32e0bf828028470ef1e
For additional verification, use VirusTotal.
#### Manual Compilation (Advanced Users Only)
**Disclaimer:** Manual compilation can introduce conflicts with existing system packages. It is recommended to use the pre-built binary or your system's package manager (e.g., pacman) for a safer installation.
**Manual Compilation Steps:**
1. **Gather Your Tools:**
Ensure you have the necessary development tools installed:
- `make`
- A C compiler (e.g., `gcc`)
- Development headers for system libraries (`pacman -S base-devel`)
**Suggestion:** Use `sudo pacman -S base-devel` to install essential development tools.
2. **Download the Source Code:**
Access the official c-client source code repository: [https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/](https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/)
**Tip:** Always download the latest stable version to ensure compatibility and security.
3. **Unpack the Source:**
Extract the source code archive:
```bash
tar -zxvf c-client-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
```
Replace `X.Y.Z` with the specific version number.
**Suggestion:** Use the `ls` command to verify the contents of the extracted directory.
4. **Configure and Build:**
Navigate into the extracted directory:
```bash
cd c-client-X.Y.Z
```
Configure and build with specific flags:
```bash
CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types" ./configure
```
**Warning:** Suppressing warnings can mask underlying issues. It is recommended to investigate the cause of these warnings and fix them if possible.
**Tip:** Use `./configure --help` to see all available configuration options.
5. **Dependency Management:**
Ensure all necessary dependencies are installed. Use `pacman` to check for missing packages.
**Suggestion:** Before starting the compilation, use `sudo pacman -Syu` to update your system and installed packages.
6. **Installation:**
If you choose to proceed with manual installation, use `sudo make install`:
```bash
sudo make install
```
**Tip:** Always review the `Makefile` before running `make install` to understand the installation process.
By following these steps, you can manually compile the c-client library for PHPV. However, for most users, the pre-built binary or using the system's package manager is the recommended approach.
