PHP Brew
Build and manage multiple PHP versions in your home directory without root permissions.
What is PHP Brew?
PHPBrew is a command-line tool that builds, installs, and manages multiple PHP versions locally in a user's home directory. It solves the problem of needing to test applications across different PHP versions without requiring system-wide installations or root permissions. By simplifying compile-time configuration through variants, it allows developers to easily create custom PHP environments tailored to their project needs.
PHP developers who need to test applications across multiple PHP versions, work on projects with different PHP requirements, or manage custom PHP builds without affecting the system-wide installation.
Developers choose PHPBrew because it provides a pure-PHP, permission-friendly way to manage complex PHP environments. Its variant system abstracts away tedious configuration, and its home-directory installation avoids conflicts with system packages, making it ideal for local development and CI environments.
