pvers
==========

*PHP version manager written in BASH. Easy to install and easy to use. Compile different versions of PHP and switch between them in a moment.*

## Installation

```sh
$ sudo sh -c "curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zinovyev/pvers/v0.7.7/pvers && chmod +x pvers && mv pvers /usr/bin/pvers"
```

## Usage

*pvers [ option ... ] [php-version]*

Where options are:

-h or --help Print this message.

-v or --version Print pvers version.

-l or --list List locally installed PHP versions.

-d or --delete Remove locally installed PHP version (as root only).

-i or --install Install (only) PHP of given version (as root only).

-s or --select Select (only) PHP of given version (as root only).

-vv or --verbose Verbose output (show all warnings and errors).

-O or --replace Replace compilation options with user options. (All the following options will be passed directly to the compiler)

-o or --options Add user options to the list of existed options. (All the following options will be passed directly to the compiler)

*To install or select (if already installed) PHP of version 5.6.6 just type:*
```sh
$ pvers 5.6.6
```
As you see, if neither '-i', nor '-s' flag are declared, a package will be first installed (if not already) and then selected (linked). So you can easy skip both of this flags.

## Example

1) Install the latest PHP version:
```sh
$ sudo pvers latest
Downloading...
Extracting...
Configuring...
Compiling...
Applying php.ini...
Applying php-fpm.conf...
Successfully installed!
Linking...
Current PHP version is 5.6.6
```

2) You can find out which version is currently used by typing:
```sh
$ php -v
PHP 5.6.6 (cli) (built: Feb 26 2015 10:51:33)
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
```

3) Now select another version:
```sh
$ sudo pvers 5.3
You are trying to install an old version of PHP. Its support is highly experimental. Really want to continue? [Y/n] Y
Linking...
Current PHP version is 5.3.29
```

4) Check version is currently used by typing:
```
$ php -v
PHP 5.3.29 (cli) (built: Mar 1 2015 13:34:21)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
```

5) List all versions installed locally:
```sh
$ pvers -l
5.3.29 [*]
5.4.38
5.5.22
5.6.0
5.6.1
5.6.2
5.6.6
```

## Troubleshooting

If you get in troubles while installation, first of all remove broken distro using ```sh $ pvers -d 5.3.4``` command. Then try running again in verbose mode: ```sh $ pvers 5.3.4 -vv``` to see all errors and warnings.
