Setup PHP-SDK Action

Github Action to set up an environment for building and testing PHP extensions on Windows.

Example Usage

- id: setup-php-sdk
  uses: php/setup-php-sdk@v0.12
  with:
    version: 8.0
    arch: x64
    ts: nts
- uses: ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd@v1
  with:
    arch: x64
    toolset: ${{steps.setup-php-sdk.outputs.toolset}}
- run: phpize
- run: configure --enable-dbase --with-prefix=${{steps.setup-php-sdk.outputs.prefix}}
- run: nmake
- run: nmake test TESTS=tests

Inputs

• version: the PHP version to build for (7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, or 8.5)
• arch: the architecture to build for (x64 or x86)
• ts: thread-safety (nts or ts)
• deps: dependency libraries to install; for now, only core dependencies are available
• cache: whether to cache the PHP SDK, PHP and development pack

Note that for PHP versions 7.4 and below, runs-on: windows-2022 will not work as the correct toolset is not available. For these versions, you should use runs-on: windows-2019. For example:

strategy:
  matrix:
    os: [ windows-2019, windows-2022 ]
    php: [ "8.1", "8.0", "7.4", "7.3", "7.2", "7.1" ]
    arch: [ x64, x86 ]
    ts: [ ts, nts ]
    exclude:
      - { os: windows-2019, php: "8.1" }
      - { os: windows-2019, php: "8.0" }
      - { os: windows-2022, php: "7.4" }
      - { os: windows-2022, php: "7.3" }
      - { os: windows-2022, php: "7.2" }
      - { os: windows-2022, php: "7.1" }

Currently, windows-2019 may be used for all PHP versions up to PHP 8.3. PHP 8.4 requires a newer image such as windows-2022.

Manually Installing Toolsets

It is possible to manually install older toolsets on windows-2022 using an approach suggested in actions/runner-images#9701. The following example installs VC15 by its Component ID to allow building PHP 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 on a windows-2022 image:

run:
  steps:
    - name: Install VC15 component
      if: ${{ matrix.php == '7.4' || matrix.php == '7.3' || matrix.php == '7.2' }}
      shell: pwsh
      run: |
              Set-Location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\"
              $installPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise"
              $component = "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.v141.x86.x64"
              $args = ('/c', "vs_installer.exe", 'modify', '--installPath', "`"$installPath`"", '--add', $component, '--quiet', '--norestart', '--nocache')
              $process = Start-Process -FilePath cmd.exe -ArgumentList $args -Wait -PassThru -WindowStyle Hidden

This step should be executed before invoking the setup-php-sdk action.

Outputs

• toolset: the required toolset version; needs to be passed to the ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd action
• prefix: the prefix of the PHP installation; needs to be passed to configure
• vs: the Visual Studio version
