Wordpress developers have a lot of concerns regarding the wordpress installations that their clients have. 1. What Wordpress version are my clients using? 2. What PHP version are my clients using? 3. Are my clients using Apache? or nginx? or IIS? and what version? 4. Are my clients using MySQL? or MariaDB? and what version? 5. What server machine are my clients using? Linux? or Windows? or Mac? Considering all these when you are a developer became very necessary especially when trying to fix a bug. Quickstart ---------- [](#quickstart) Enough of all those bullshit. Let's dive in! ``` ``` **Output** ``` { "platform": { "name": "WordPress", "version": { "major": 4, "minor": 4.9, "specific": "4.9.8", "raw": "4.9.8" } }, "interpreter": { "name": "PHP", "version": { "major": 7, "minor": 7.2, "specific": "7.2.9", "raw": "7.2.9" } }, "web_server": { "name": "Apache", "version": { "major": 2, "minor": 2.4, "specific": "2.4.34", "raw": "Apache\/2.4.34 (Unix) PHP\/7.2.9" } }, "database_server": { "name": "MySQL", "version": { "major": 5, "minor": 5.6, "specific": "5.6.27", "raw": "5.6.27" } }, "operating_system": { "name": "Darwin", "version": { "major": 17, "minor": 17.5, "specific": "17.5.0", "raw": "Darwin Kernel Version 17.5.0: Mon Mar 5 22:24:32 PST 2018; root:xnu-4570.51.1~1\/RELEASE_X86_64" } } } ``` More examples ------------- [](#more-examples) For realistic purposes, let's focus on getting the actual values. ``` $environment = new W18T(); // Classic name and version echo $environment->operating_system; // "Darwin" echo $environment->operating_system->version; // "17.5.0" // Is the version still supported? Get the numeric values that can be used for comparison echo $environment->operating_system->version->major; // 17 echo $environment->operating_system->version->minor; // 17.5 // Version of PHP? echo $environment->interpreter->version; // "7.2.9" // Version of Apache? echo $environment->web_server->version; // "2.4.34" // Version of MySQL? echo $environment->database_server->version; // "5.6.27" // Version of WordPress? echo $environment->platform->version; // "4.9.8" // It works the same as above echo $environment->platform->version->specific; // "4.9.8" ``` Demo ---- [](#demo) I've made a very simple wordpress plugin that uses the W18T library. All you have to do is to: 1. **Download** the plugin - [w18t-sample-plugin-master.zip](https://github.com/abelcallejo/w18t-sample-plugin/archive/master.zip) 2. **Install** it in your wordpress 3. **Activate** the plugin 4. Go to the **Dashboard** › **W18T plugin** Installation ------------ [](#installation) Integrating the W18T library to your project can be done in 3 ways. Select the method that suits you best. ### Method A [](#method-a) **Composer**. The current recommended way of installing libraries in PHP is by using a package manager. This simplifies the package management for PHP projects. For this method, installation is done by command-line. 1. Make sure you have installed Composer - [Installation procedure](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx) 2. Go to your working directory ``` cd /path/to/working-dir ``` 3. Add the W18T library in your project's library packages ``` composer require abelcallejo/wordpress-environment:dev-master ``` 4. In your PHP code, include the library like so: ``` ``` ### Method B [](#method-b) **Zip file**. The traditional way of installing libraries in PHP is by using compressed files. This intuitive-*vises* the package management for PHP projects. For this method, installation is done by user interface. 1. Download a Zip copy of the library - [wordpress-environment-2.0.zip](https://github.com/abelcallejo/wordpress-environment/archive/2.0.zip) 2. Decompress/unzip the downloaded file 3. In your PHP code, include the library like so: ``` ``` ### Method C [](#method-c) **Git**. The most helpful way of installing libraries in PHP is by using daily builds. This encourages developers to work-and-use packages with latest daily updates. For this method, installation is done by command-line. 1. Make sure you have installed Git - [Installation procedure](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) 2. Go to your working directory ``` cd /path/to/working-dir ``` 3. Add the W18T library in your project's library packages ``` git clone https://github.com/abelcallejo/wordpress-environment.git ``` 4. In your PHP code, include the library like so: ``` ``` Releases -------- [](#releases) ### Alpha [](#alpha) **1.0** - Bare values of the the environment variables. *Released December 2, 2017* ### Beta [](#beta) **2.0** - Added numeric major and minor versions of the environment varialbles. *Released September 4, 2018* ### Health Score 21 — LowBetter than 19% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
