PHP versions listing doesn't seem to work about php-version HOT 17 CLOSED

1. What is the output of command -v php-version?
2. What is the output of echo $(find $(brew --cellar) -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -E 'php[0-9]+$')

from php-version.

Here you go.

 ~ command -v php-version
php-version
 ~ echo $(find $(brew --cellar) -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -E 'php[0-9]+$')
/usr/local/Cellar/php54 /usr/local/Cellar/php55

Hi,

Below is the output of the "bug-report".

## Homebrew

  VERSION: 0.9.5
  PATH:    /usr/local/bin/brew
  PHPS:    /usr/local/Cellar/php54
/usr/local/Cellar/php55

## PHP

  VERSION: 5.4.20

from php-version.

I've recently realized that you've got to unlink the brewed formulas; perhaps that will help in this case:

brew unlink php54
brew unlink php55

from php-version.

php55 hasn't been linked yet because php54 is in-use. Just unlink php54 but nothing changes.

 ~  php-version
 ~  brew unlink php54
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.20... 576 links removed
 ~  php-version

EDITED: It works with the master code, I think.

from php-version.

Not quite sure if it's actually works. Installed version from homebrew still shows nothing.

Do the steps noted in here and trigger php-version, I get:

 5.4.20
5.5.4

Yes, there's a space before 5.4.20.

This seems to work regardless I have linked or unlinked the php54 brew. I can now use php-version 5 to switch to php55, or php-version 5.4 to switch to php54. php -v shows that it has been switched.

However, the php-version command solely still doesn't show the current "active" version.

from php-version.

What I've noticed is that the switching will work regardless of linking or unlinking; however, the "current" version detection gets confused if you have a linked PHP. This is because homebrew-php links the php binary to the $HOMEBRW_PREFIX/bin directory which effectively makes it the first php found even if you haven't actually told php-version that you want to switch to a particular version. So, it's better to always unlink even if it seems like it is working without unlinking.

So, I would try to unlink, then start a new shell, type php-version and see if it shows a * next to any version (it should if you've added php-version 5 to your shell profile). BTW, there should always be two spaces before the version when you type php-version. The first spot is reserved for the current version * and the second space is always blank, then there is the version.

Should look something like this:

* 5.4.20
  5.5.4

I'm going to install a second version of php to see if I can replicate what you are seeing. In the meantime, let me know if unlinking helps.

from php-version.

What I said above is when I both tried to unlink the php54 and relink it. In both cases, triggering php-version (the temporary from master) always shows the output I posted.

To be more clear about this, I will tell you my steps.

• Clone git to get latest changes from master into /tmp
• brew unlink php54
• Open new iTerm tab
• php -v report system version, which is 5.3.x
• source php-version/php-version.sh
• php-version 5
• php -v shows 5.5.4, so the latest script works on switching PHP version
• php-version still show 2 versions without any * indicating current active version

Am I getting it wrong or what?

Thank you for your support.

from php-version.

@ngocphamm: thanks for the info...yes, I see what may be going wrong. Since I have never had more than one homebrew php version installed at once (I generally compile on my own), I didn't notice this issue.

You are definitely seeing a bug. I'm heading to the gym now but tonight I will be able to check into and correct this issue.

Thanks for hanging in there...this should be corrected soon.

from php-version.

@wilmoore Thanks for your confirmation. I just thought that it would be my wrong usage of it. Have a good day!

from php-version.

@ngocphamm, no problem.

This is resolved by de8331d. To verify, please try against the latest in mater.

from php-version.

It's okay now. I can switch and see my current "active" version. Thank you very much for it. Waiting for a release and a pull request on homebrew for this update.

from php-version.

Excellent. I'll close this since all you need now is this to be merged: josegonzalez/homebrew-php/pull/775

from php-version.

BTW, it doesn't actually have to be merged for you to install it. You can install version 0.10.3 with a direct link to the commit:

% brew remove php-version
% brew install https://raw.github.com/wilmoore/homebrew-php/1fe5bdf389e8ad19fb816d3d093c26faa834203c/Formula/php-version.rb

from php-version.

Cool! Thanks a lot!

from php-version.

Anytime 👍
