phpv
This simple BASH script will simplify switching between 5.* and 7.* php branches on Ubuntu. Corresponding PHP versions should be already installed.
INSTALLATION
Put phpv file into your /usr/bin/ directory and make it executable.
You can do this with following command (under root):
wget -O /tmp/phpv.zip https://github.com/czt08883/switch-php-version/archive/master.zip; unzip /tmp/phpv.zip -d /tmp/phpv; cp /tmp/phpv/switch-php-version-master/phpv /usr/bin; chmod a+x /usr/bin/phpv
USAGE
(sudo) phpv [OPTION]
Possible options:
-v, v, --version show current PHP version
-5, 5 switch PHP version to 5.*
-7, 7 switch PHP version to 7.*
PHP VERSIONS
In case you haven't installed both PHP versions yet, and you don't know how to do it this little guide might help.
