Composer PHP Versions in range

GitHub Action that gets the PHP versions in range from composer.json

Options

This action supports the following option.

upcomingReleases

Will include the next upcoming major or minor PHP release. For example, if enabled at the time of writing (May 2022) that will be 8.2. Note that this version will be updated once the first alpha is out. Looking for more bleeding edge, nightly will hold the same value from the release day of the previous X.Y.0 release.

  • Required: No
  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: false
  • Example: true for including upcoming new major or minor releases

nightly

Will include the nightly of the next new major or minor PHP release. For example, if enabled at the time of writing (December 2023) that will be 8.4.

  • Required: No
  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: false
  • Example: true for including the nightly of the next new major or minor releases

workingDirectory

Set a different than the root directory to look for composer.json

  • Required: No
  • Type: String
  • Default: ""
  • Example: clients/GitHub

Output

The action comes with 7 outputs, most importantly version which contains a JSON list with versions to be used in follow up steps:

["7.3","7.4","8.0","8.1","8.2","8.3","8.4"]

And the highest and lowest outputs that provide the highest PHP version (8.4 in the version output example) and the lowest PHP version (7.3 in the version output example) from the version list. The 4rth output is upcoming and will be populated with the upcoming but in alpha/beta/rc next minor or major version of PHP. The nightly contains the current in development but not alpha/beta/rc tag next major or minor version.

On top of that this action will also give you 3 lists of extensions. The extensions from require in requiredExtensions, dev extensions in requiredDevExtensions, and a combined list in extensions.
