- Allow people to run unit tests with PHP with a 1 line setup & without much to download
- Get people trying out PHP 7's new features
Note: you don't need to do anything with this repo, docker will pull the image for you the 1st time you use it.
If you don't have docker, run sudo apt-get install docker or similar on your machine.
Run a PHP file
docker run -it --rm --name my-php7 -v "$(pwd)":/tmp -w /tmp dave1010/php-nightly "php ./path/to/file.php"
You can run executable PHP files (chmod a+x) directly, eg running PHPUnit
docker run -it --rm --name my-php7 -v "$(pwd)":/tmp -w /tmp dave1010/php-nightly ./vendor/bin/phpunit
This is quite a long command, so you can alias it:
alias php7='docker run -it --rm --name my-php7 -v "$(pwd)":/tmp -w /tmp dave1010/php-nightly'
php7 ./vendor/bin/phpunit
Check out the examples in this repo for some more PHP 7 goodness.
This is optional -- only needed if you want to change stuff -- as I've packaged it on Docker hub.
Something like this:
docker build -t php-nightly .
docker ps -a
docker commit <hash> php:nightly
Pull requests welcome!
- Make so you don't need "php file.php --args" in quotes
- Clean up images, so they're just a few MB, rather than 100s.
- PHP extensions
- Add details to the package on Docker hub
- Make it easy / automated to update to the latest nightly / check out different branches of php-src
