PHP binaries used by the NativePHP framework
============================================

[](#php-binaries-used-by-the-nativephp-framework)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require nativephp/php-bin --dev
```

or NPM:

```
npm -i @nativephp/php-bin --save-dev
```

### ℹ️ Heads up...

[](#ℹ️-heads-up)

> You should install this package as a `dev` dependency, in most cases, and simply copy what you need from it to the relevant parts of your application. This will save you distributing all of the PHP binaries with every installation.

Building
--------

[](#building)

NativePHP uses [`static-php-cli`](https://static-php.dev) to build minimal, statically-linked, self-contained PHP executables for each platform.

They are automatically built weekly to get the latest versions of PHP near enough as soon as they become available.

[Check here](https://github.com/NativePHP/php-bin/blob/main/php-extensions.txt) for the definitive list of extensions that are compiled in.

Issues
------

[](#issues)

Please raise any issues on the [NativePHP/desktop](https://github.com/nativephp/desktop/issues/new/choose) repo.
