Ansible Role - PHP Versions

Ansible Role: PHP Versions

Allows different PHP versions to be installed when using the geerlingguy.php role (or a similar role). This role was originally built for Drupal VM but was released more generically so others could use an easier mechanism for switching PHP versions.

Requirements

N/A

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

php_version: '7.1'

The PHP version to be installed. Any currently-supported PHP major version is a valid option (e.g. 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, etc.

php_versions_install_recommends: false

(For Debian OSes only) Whether to install recommended packages. This is set to no by default because setting it to yes often leads to multiple PHP versions being installed (thus making a bit of a mess) when using repos like Ondrej's PHP PPA for Ubuntu.

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.php is a soft dependency as the php_version variable is required to be set.
• geerlingguy.repo-remi, if you're using CentOS or a Red Hat derivative.

Example Playbook

- hosts: webservers

  vars:
    php_version: '7.1'

  roles:
    - role: geerlingguy.repo-remi
      when: ansible_os_family == 'RedHat'
    - geerlingguy.php-versions
    - geerlingguy.php
