What is this repository for?

This Repo includes an simple zsh plugin for the shell command php-version to automatically switch between php versions if an rc-file is present. This was heavily inspired by the rvm switch for .rvmrc files.

Prerequirements

zsh (duh) and oh-my-zsh (for plugin compatibility)
php-version (used for the zsh plugin to automatically switch between php versions)
- see GitHub: wilmoore/php-version

Setup

Add the plugin into your zsh custom folder
- See the documentation from GitHub: robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh
Add the plugin to your .zshrc and define an default PHP version to switch back to if there is no .phpvrc file:

plugins=(
    ...
    php-version_rcfile-switcher
    ...
)

PHPVRC_DEFAULT=7.2

create an rc file with the name: .phpvrc and include the version, e.g.: 7.2

Where does it run?

This plugin was developed and tested on macOS Mojave (11.14) to work with zsh, brew and php-version. For everything else you get an "maybe".
