Bundle PIE with PHP

[alexander-schranz]

The https://www.php.net/downloads.php was updated but I think PIE is not yet shipped with PHP itself.

While I think it would be great if I install PHP via brew that PIE is part of it. We at current state maybe can just extend the downloads page.

PS: pecl is still there (fresh 8.5.0 brew installation):

I think PIE is not yet shipped with PHP itself

correct, I'd be hesitant to ship PIE itself in with PHP, but would be open to a script to fetch the latest PIE version though perhaps. Main reason being, IMO we can iterate quicker if we are not tied to PHP releases, and that is a benefit of decoupling. However, on the flipside it may indeed hamper adoption.

PECL is not yet officially even deprecated, so yes, it continues to be bundled (although there is a draft RFC to officially deprecate it).

We at current state maybe can just extend the downloads page.

Yeah I hadn't noticed the new download page yet, I'll have a look, but it seems like a good idea to add PIE in there :)

[alexander-schranz]

PIE and COMPOSER should be listed added there :)

You are right about the release cycle. That sure better at current state, but adding it to the download page is I think great way.

For MAC I used:

wget https://github.com/php/pie/releases/download/1.1.0/pie.phar # not sure if wget is availabe by default
chmod +x pie.phar
sudo mv pie.phar /usr/local/bin/pie

A installer script like FrankenPHP has would be nice.

PS: pie --version for stable 1.1.0 outputs: 🥧 PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) 1.1.0-rc.1

Some other deprecations warnings if you are interested which may related to PHP 8.5

Could not yet give the extension installer a try as most extension seems not compatible with 8.5 because of /private/tmp/pear/temp/redis/common.h:14:10: fatal error: 'ext/standard/php_smart_string.h' file not found

Thanks :)

PS: pie --version for stable 1.1.0 outputs: 🥧 PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) 1.1.0-rc.1

this is fixed in #317 (for next release)

Some other deprecations warnings if you are interested which may related to PHP 8.5

these are silenced in #315 (also for next release)

My recommendation for the (automated) installation would be (using gh CLI):

gh release --repo php/pie download --pattern pie.phar
gh attestation verify --repo php/pie pie.phar

[alexander-schranz]

I personally would not force that they have a need to install github cli installed.

Better even would be to push the release to php.net server where its downloaded from.

Closing this, as it duplicates #564
