## This _IS_ for you if

- You are not satisifed with heavy handed *AMP or PPA-based installers.
- You [use multiple][homebrew-php] [versions][php-build] of PHP on Linux or Mac.
- You download [pre-compiled PHP binaries for Windows][windows-bin] (**NOTE**: this is a [bash] script so you'll need [WSL]).
- You want to run your automated tests against multiple PHP versions.
- You are a developer that works on a variety of PHP projects each requiring different versions of PHP.
- You want to work on the latest PHP, but expect to support prior work that was done on older PHP versions.

## This is _NOT_ for you if

- You are content with heavy handed *AMP installers.
- You are provisioning a production server so you only need a single PHP install.
- You **NEVER** work on more than one PHP project at a time.
- You don't plan on supporting prior work that was done on other PHP versions.

## Rationale

**php-version** attempts to stick to the classic UNIX notion that tools should do one thing well.

> While there are [smart](https://github.com/c9s/phpbrew) [alternative](https://github.com/CHH/phpenv)
> [tools](https://sourceforge.net/p/phpfarm/wiki/Home/) that attempt to [solve](https://github.com/convissor/php_version_solution)
> this problem, [none](https://www.gnu.org/s/stow/) of the tools I've found were simple enough for me.

## Features

- [Homebrew installed PHP versions][homebrew-php] are picked up automatically.
- PHP versions installed [into `~/.phps`][build-php-vers] are picked up automatically.
- PHP versions listed in the `$PHP_VERSIONS` shell variable are picked up automatically.
- **snap versioning**: Use a partial version number (i.e. `php-version 5`) to automatically use the latest 5.x version.
- **per version `php.ini`**: we `export PHPRC` if a version-specific `php.ini` exists.
- **configurable**: `php-version --help` for details.
- **[bash], [zsh], and [fish]** shells actively supported; though care has been taken such that other shells are _likely_ to work as well.
- **tiny**: less than 200 LOC; a single function sourced via your shell's initialization file.
