Switching PHP version
You can switch the PHP version for any project, using Auto DNS. You can also switch your PHP version in the workspace.
Switching PHP version in the browser
Simply visit the correct URL for your desired PHP version. The URL format is:
http://project-name.php-version.localhost. This will automatically resolve
to the public/ directory in your project folder.
| URL | PHP Verson | Root Directory |
|---|---|---|
| projectname.56.localhost | 5.6 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
| projectname.70.localhost | 7.0 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
| projectname.71.localhost | 7.1 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
| projectname.72.localhost | 7.2 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
| projectname.73.localhost | 7.3 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
| projectname.74.localhost | 7.4 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
| projectname.80.localhost | 8.0 | PROJECTS_DIR/projectname/public |
Switching PHP version in the workspace
You may want to change your PHP version in the workspace so you can run any PHP commands using the correct version for your project.
Changing for a single command
You can change the PHP version for a single command by prefixing your command with the PHP version you want to run it as.
7.4 composer install
Changing for the workspace session
You can change the PHP version for the entire workspace session. This will allow you to run any PHP command
without prefixing it with the version number. Just run the same command as before, but prefix it with .
. 7.4
composer install
Changing the default PHP version
It can be annoying to have to select the PHP version every time you use the workspace. So if you want to set
the default PHP version, just set the DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION environment variable in the .env file.
