Install Guide

PHP_CompatInfo may be installed in several ways, choose your favorite.

Before you begin, ensure that you have at least PHP 5.3.0 installed.

PEAR

PHP_CompatInfo should be installed using the PEAR Installer. This installer is the backbone of PEAR, which provides a distribution system for PHP packages, and is shipped with every release of PHP since version 4.3.0.

Installing the latest version available:

$ pear install bartlett/PHP_CompatInfo

Installing a specific version:

PHP Archive (PHAR)

wget http://bartlett.laurent-laville.org/get/phpcompatinfo.phar
chmod +x phpcompatinfo.phar

Composer

Install Composer in your root project with this command:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Or download composer.phar in your root project.

Put a file named composer.json at the root of your project, containing the dependency:

{
    "require": {
        "pear-bartlett/PHP_CompatInfo": "2.26.*"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "pear",
            "url": "http://pear.php.net"
        },
        {
            "type": "pear",
            "url": "http://bartlett.laurent-laville.org"
        }
    ]
}

And install this dependency with the following command:

$ php composer.phar install

Include Composer’s autoloader, and use the PHP_CompatInfo class

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

GNU/Linux RPM

PHP_CompatInfo could be installed as RPM, using the package installer.

In Fedora, from official repository.

In Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Oracle Linux, …), from the EPEL repository.

# yum install php-bartlett-PHP-CompatInfo

Git

You can also clone the project.

$ git clone git://github.com/llaville/php-compat-info.git && cd php-compat-info

Copy the PHP sub-folder in a Bartlett directory accessible by your include_path.

When include_path is equals to .:/php/includes

$ mkdir /php/includes/Bartlett && cp PHP/* /php/includes/Bartlett
Warning
Don’t forget to install also all others required dependencies: PHP_Reflect, Console_CommandLine.

Check that it works. Run the local phpcompatinfo command.

$ php scripts/phpci --version

That should give expected result:

phpcompatinfo version DEV.
