$ phpbrew update --old

To list known older versions (less than 5.4), _(*20)

$ phpbrew known --old

Starting Building Your Own PHP

Simply build and install PHP with default variant:, _(*21)

$ phpbrew install 5.4.0 +default

Here we suggest default variant set, which includes most commonly used variants, if you need a minimum install, just remove the default variant set., _(*22)

You can enable parallel compilation by passing -j or --jobs option and the following is an example:, _(*23)

$ phpbrew install -j $(nproc) 5.4.0 +default

With tests:, _(*24)

$ phpbrew install --test 5.4.0

With debug messages:, _(*25)

$ phpbrew -d install --test 5.4.0

To install older versions (less than 5.3):, _(*26)

$ phpbrew install --old 5.2.13

To install the latest patch version of a given release:, _(*27)

$ phpbrew install 5.6

To install a pre-release version:, _(*28)

$ phpbrew install 7.2.0alpha1
$ phpbrew install 7.2.0beta2
$ phpbrew install 7.2.0RC3

To install from a GitHub tag or branch name:, _(*29)

$ phpbrew install github:php/php-src@PHP-7.2 as php-7.2.0-dev

To install the next (unstable) version:, _(*30)

$ phpbrew install next as php-7.3.0-dev

Cleaning up build directory

$ phpbrew clean php-5.4.0

Variants

PHPBrew arranges configure options for you, you can simply specify variant name, and phpbrew will detect include paths and build options for configuring., _(*31)

PHPBrew provides default variants and some virtual variants, to the default variants, which includes the most commonly used variants, to the virtual variants, which defines a variant set, you may use one virtual variant to enable multiple variants at one time., _(*32)

To check out what is included in these variants, run phpbrew variants to list these variants., _(*33)

To enable one variant, add a prefix + before the variant name, eg, _(*34)

+mysql

To disable one variant, add a prefix - before the variant name., _(*35)

-debug

For example, if we want to build PHP with the default options and database supports (mysql, sqlite, postgresql), you may simply run:, _(*36)

$ phpbrew install 5.4.5 +default+dbs

You may also build PHP with extra variants:, _(*37)

$ phpbrew install 5.3.10 +mysql+sqlite+cgi

$ phpbrew install 5.3.10 +mysql+debug+pgsql +apxs2

$ phpbrew install 5.3.10 +pdo +mysql +pgsql +apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2

To build PHP with pgsql (PostgreSQL) extension:, _(*38)

$ phpbrew install 5.4.1 +pgsql+pdo

Or build pgsql extension with postgresql base dir on Mac OS X:, _(*39)

$ phpbrew install 5.4.1 +pdo+pgsql=/opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin

The pgsql path is the location of pg_config, you could find pg_config in the /opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin, _(*40)

To build PHP with neutral compile options, you can specify neutral virtual variant, which means that phpbrew doesn't add any additional compile options including --disable-all. But some options(for example --enable-libxml) are still automatically added to support pear installation. You can build PHP with neutral:, _(*41)

$ phpbrew install 5.4.1 +neutral

For more details, please check out PHPBrew Cookbook., _(*42)

Extra Configure Options

To pass extra configure arguments, you can do this:, _(*43)

$ phpbrew install 5.3.10 +mysql +sqlite -- \
    --enable-ftp --apxs2=/opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs

Use (switch version temporarily):, _(*44)

$ phpbrew use 5.4.22

Switch PHP version (switch default version), _(*45)

$ phpbrew switch 5.4.18
