# 🔀 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
```
1. `switch-php` -> The main command. (Required)
1. `7.1` -> Specify the version of PHP you want to switch too, in this case `php71`. (Required)
1. `-v` -> Request verbose output (Optional)
1. `-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:
```bash
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 [email protected]
7.0 Switch to [email protected]
7.1 Switch to [email protected]
7.2 Switch to [email protected]
7.3 Switch to [email protected]
7.4 Switch to [email protected]
```
### 🎛 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 # [email protected] with 512MB of memory
switch-php 7.3 -m 2G -v # [email protected] with 2GB of memory; verbose output
switch-php 5.6 --memory=1G # [email protected] 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.*
