PHP OS Info

Description

Get information of the current operating system where PHP is running on.

Information that you can retrieve are:

• Operating system name
• Operating system family
• Machine UUID

There are many packages that does that already, but most of them are based on the use of the variable PHP_OS that contains the operating system name PHP was built on, from php.net:

 The operating system PHP was built for.

However, PHP_OS might be sometimes not very accurate, then using php_uname() might be a better fit for detecting the operating system, we only use it as a fallback.

This library uses php_uname() and a static list of existing operating systems, and then from there, tries to deduct the operating system family.

From PHP 7.2, the variable PHP_OS_FAMILY was added and based on the definition from php.net:

 The operating system family PHP was built for.
 Either of 'Windows', 'BSD', 'Darwin', 'Solaris', 'Linux' or 'Unknown'.

So once again, if you're using a PHP which is cross compiled, using those constant is a bad idea.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.1.3

composer require loophp/phposinfo

OsInfo::isFamily(Family::UNIX_ON_WINDOWS);

// Check if the OS is Os::FREEBSD.
OsInfo::isOs(Os::FREEBSD);

// Check if the OS is Windows.
OsInfo::isOs('windows');

// Check if the OS family is darwin.
OsInfo::isFamily('darwin');

// Get the machine UUID.
OsInfo::uuid();

Code quality, tests and benchmarks

Every time changes are introduced into the library, Github actions are setup to test the library against different operating systems and PHP versions.

The library has tests written with PHPSpec. Feel free to check them out in the spec directory. Run composer phpspec to trigger the tests.

Before each commit some inspections are executed with GrumPHP, run ./vendor/bin/grumphp run to check manually.

PHPInfection is used to ensure that your code is properly tested, run composer infection to test your code.
