PHP
PHP projects can manage most of their dependencies locally with composer
. Some PHP extensions, however, need to be bundled with PHP at compile time.
Adding PHP to your Project
Run devbox add php php80Packages.composer
, or add the following to your devbox.json
:
"packages": [
"php",
"php81Packages.composer
]
This will install PHP 8.1 in your shell.
Other versions available include:
php80
(PHP 8.0)php82
(PHP 8.2)
Installing PHP Extensions
You can compile additional extensions into PHP by adding them to packages
in your devbox.json
. Devbox will automatically ensure that your extensions are included in PHP at compile time.
For example -- to add the ds
extension, run devbox add php81Extensions.ds
, or update your packages to include the following:
"packages": [
"php",
"php81Packages.composer",
"php81Extensions.ds"
]
