Author Seeking feedback on QA tool: phpflip
Clay Loveless

2005-09-18, 6:56 pm

I've put together a shell script that I hope will be helpful to others in
testing PHP scripts against different PHP builds.

It's called 'phpflip', and the source for the script is available here:

http://www.killersoft.com/projects/...r/shell/phpflip

My intent is to enable easy switching between not just major versions, such
as PHP 4 and PHP 5, but incremental versions -- switch between PHP 4.3.11,
4.4.0, 5.0.5, 5.1.0, and whatever the latest snapshot is with one command.

Download PHP distributions, configure and build them, but don't install them
-- use phpflip instead.

Since each build has the same prefix of /usr (or whatever you specify),
they'd all use the same PEAR installation.

I'm interested in feedback on this script, particularly from this group -- I
intend to release on pearified.com after I've gathered some feedback. (Just
assuming it wouldn't be very welcome on PEAR, since it's not actually a PHP
script itself.)

Thanks,
Clay
