Setup PHP in GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions status Codecov Code Coverage LICENSE PHP Versions Supported

🎉 PHP Support

PHP Version Stability Release Support
5.6 Stable End of life
7.0 Stable End of life
7.1 Stable Security fixes only

7.4 Stable Active

☁️ OS/Platform Support

Virtual environment matrix.operating-system
Windows Server 2019 windows-latest or windows-2019
Ubuntu 18.04 ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-18.04
Ubuntu 16.04 ubuntu-16.04
macOS X Catalina 10.15 macOS-latest or macOS-10.15

🔧 PHP Extension Support

  • On ubuntu by default extensions which are available as a package can be installed. If the extension is not available as a package but it is on PECL, it can be installed by specifying pecl: true.
  • On windows extensions which have windows binary on PECL can be installed.
  • On macOS extensions which are on PECL can be installed.
  • Extensions which are installed along with PHP if specified are enabled.
  • Extensions which cannot be installed gracefully leave an error message in the logs, the action is not interrupted.

📶 Coverage support

Xdebug

Specify coverage: xdebug to use Xdebug.
Runs on all PHP versions supported

uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v1
with:
  php-version: '7.3'  
  coverage: xdebug

PCOV

Specify coverage: pcov to use PCOV.
It is much faster than Xdebug.
PCOV needs PHP >= 7.1.
If your source code directory is other than src, lib or, app, specify pcov.directory using the ini-values-csv input.

uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v1
with:
  php-version: '7.3'
  ini-values-csv: pcov.directory=api #optional, see above for usage.
  coverage: pcov

Disable coverage

Specify coverage: none to disable both Xdebug and PCOV. Consider disabling the coverage using this PHP action for these reasons.

  • You are not generating coverage reports while testing.
  • It will disable Xdebug, which will have a positive impact on PHP performance.
  • You are using phpdbg for running your tests.
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v1
with:
  php-version: '7.3'
  coverage: none

See action.yml and usage below for more info.

Basic Usage

steps:
- name: Checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v1

  uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v1
  with:
    php-version: '7.3'
    extension-csv: mbstring, intl #optional, setup extensions

- name: Check PHP Version
  run: php -v

- name: Check Composer Version
  run: composer -V

- name: Check PHP Extensions
  run: php -m

Matrix Testing

jobs:
  run:    
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.operating-system }}
    strategy:      
      matrix:
        operating-system: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macOS-latest]
        php-versions: ['5.6', '7.0', '7.1', '7.2', '7.3']
    name: PHP ${{ matrix.php-versions }} Test on ${{ matrix.operating-system }}
    steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v1

    - name: Setup PHP
      uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v1
      with:
        php-version: ${{ matrix.php-versions }}
        extension-csv: mbstring, intl #optional, setup extensions
        ini-values-csv: post_max_size=256M, short_open_tag=On #optional, setup php.ini configuration
        coverage: xdebug #optional, setup coverage driver
        pecl: false #optional, setup PECL

    - name: Check PHP Version
      run: php -v

    - name: Check Composer Version
      run: composer -V

    - name: Check PHP Extensions
      run: php -m

Cache dependencies

You can persist composer's internal cache directory using the action/cache GitHub Action. Dependencies cached are loaded directly instead of downloading them while installation. The files cached are available across check-runs and will reduce the workflow execution time.

Note: Please do not cache vendor directory using action/cache as that will have side-effects.

- name: Get Composer Cache Directory
  id: composer-cache
  run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(composer config cache-files-dir)"

- name: Cache dependencies  
  uses: actions/cache@v1
  with:
    path: ${{ steps.composer-cache.outputs.dir }}
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ hashFiles('**/composer.lock') }}
    restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-

- name: Install Dependencies
  run: composer install --prefer-dist
