Description Tyler Romeo 2013-07-30 23:41:40 UTC 
Have method of switching PHP versions from the command line for testing purposes, e.g., switching between 5.3 and 5.4.
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2013-09-11 22:45:29 UTC 
[mass-moving from Tools>MediaWiki-Vagrant to separate product. See bug 54041. Filter bugmail on this comment.]
Comment 2 Tyler Romeo 2013-11-25 05:08:13 UTC 
Note: HHVM also kind of falls under the scope of this bug.
Comment 3 Ori Livneh 2013-11-25 10:08:28 UTC 
Setting aside Vagrant and Puppet for the moment: what is the proper way to specify the default PHP interpreter in Ubuntu?
Comment 4 Tyler Romeo 2013-11-25 22:08:22 UTC 
apt-get allows you to specify the version of package to install. For example:

sudo apt-get install php5=5.5.3

Unfortunately it's only specific versions, meaning you can't do "php5>=5.4.9" or anything like that.

Also, you need to be using a version of Ubuntu that has the latest versions of PHP in the repository. (Only quantal and later have PHP 5.4, and only saucy has PHP 5.5.)

phpenv (https://github.com/phpenv/phpenv) provides an interesting way to install and manage multiple php interpreters. I have used it in the past to setup build and test servers for PECL extensions and other projects where having multiple php builds is useful. I think it's what Travis-CI uses as well to provide php matrix builds.
