PHPCOMPATINFO(1)

📦 version 7.2.6, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 phpcompatinfo(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because phpcompatinfo(1) is about to become your new hyperfixation 🎀 it's a PHP library that parses literally any data source and tells you the minimum version and extensions you need for it to run. no cap. it's giving detective but make it PHP. 🔍✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

phpcompatinfo [options] command [arguments]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, the phpcompatinfo(1) command parses any data source to find out the elements inside it — think classes, interfaces, functions, constants, namespaces. it's lowkey just snooping but in a helpful way 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -h, --help — shows you this help message. classic. iconic. 🫶
  • -q, --quiet — do not output any message. silence. the vibe is muted. 🤫
  • -v|vv|v, --verbose — turns up the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug. three whole levels of yapping, we love range 📢
  • -V, --version — display this application version. iykyk 🏷️
  • --ansi — force ANSI output. colour me obsessed 🌈
  • --no-ansi — disable ANSI output. boring era but okay 🙈
  • --profile — display timing and memory usage information. the receipts, fr fr ⏱️
  • --progress — show progress bar. watching it fill up is my main character moment 👑
  • --output — write results to file. save it for later bestie 💾
  • --manifest — show which versions of dependencies are bundled (PHAR version only). exclusive behaviour, only the PHAR girlies get this one 🧚

🔥 ANALYSER:RUN COMMAND 🔥

the phpcompatinfo(1) analyser:run command is used to analyse a data source and display results. this is the moment. the whole point. ✨

Usage:

phpcompatinfo analyser:run source

Where:

💜 DB:LIST COMMAND 💜

the phpcompatinfo(1) db:list command is used to list all references supported. window shopping but for references 🛍️

Usage:

phpcompatinfo db:list [--all]

Where:

  • --all — list all references. every single one. no gatekeeping 💯

⭐ DB:SHOW COMMAND ⭐

the phpcompatinfo(1) db:show command is used to introspect a reference. get in there and look around, bestie 🔍

Usage:

phpcompatinfo db:show [--releases] [--ini] [--constants] [--functions] [--interfaces] [--classes] [--methods] [--class-constants] name

Where:

  • name — introspection of a reference (case insensitive) 🔤
