input installs a nightly build ofPHP 8.1.0-dev
andPHP 8.2.0-dev
respectively. See nightly build setup for more information. - To use JIT on
PHP 8.0
and above, refer to the JIT configuration section.

PHP Extension Support
PHP extensions can be set up using the extensions
input. It accepts a string
in csv-format.
- On
Ubuntu
, extensions which are available as a package, available onPECL
or a git repository can be set up.
- name: Setup PHP with PECL extension
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
extensions: imagick, swoole
-
On
Windows
, extensions available onPECL
which have theDLL
binary can be set up. -
On
macOS
, extensions available onPECL
or a git repository can be set up. -
On
Ubuntu
andmacOS
to compile and install an extension from a git repository follow this guide. -
Extensions installed along with PHP if specified are enabled.
-
Specific versions of extensions available on
PECL
can be set up by suffixing the extension's name with the version. This is useful for installing old versions of extensions which support end of life PHP versions.
- name: Setup PHP with specific version of PECL extension
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '5.4'
extensions: swoole-1.9.3
- Pre-release versions extensions available on
PECL
can be set up by suffixing the extension's name with its state i.ealpha
,beta
,devel
orsnapshot
.
- name: Setup PHP with pre-release PECL extension
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
extensions: xdebug-beta
- Shared extensions can be disabled by prefixing them with a
:
. All extensions depending on the specified extension will also be disabled.
- name: Setup PHP and disable opcache
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
extensions: :opcache
- All shared extensions can be disabled by specifying
none
. Whennone
is specified along with other extensions, it is hoisted to the start of the input. So, all the shared extensions will be disabled first, then rest of the extensions in the input will be processed.
Note: This disables all core and third-party shared extensions and thus, can break some tools which need them. So, make sure you add the required extensions after none
in the extensions
input.
- name: Setup PHP without any shared extensions except mbstring
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
extensions: none, mbstring
- Extension
intl
can be set up with specificICU
version forPHP 5.6
and above inUbuntu
workflows by suffixingintl
with theICU
version.ICU 50.2
and newer versions are supported. Refer toICU builds
for the specific versions supported.
- name: Setup PHP with intl
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
extensions: intl-69.1
-
Extensions loaded by default after
setup-php
runs can be found on the wiki. -
These extensions have custom support:
cubrid
,pdo_cubrid
andgearman
onUbuntu
.geos
onUbuntu
andmacOS
.blackfire
,couchbase
,ioncube
,oci8
,pdo_firebird
,pdo_oci
,pecl_http
,phalcon3
andphalcon4
on all supported OS.
-
By default, extensions which cannot be added or disabled gracefully leave an error message in the logs, the action is not interrupted. To change this behaviour you can set
fail-fast
flag totrue
.
- name: Setup PHP with fail-fast
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
extensions: oci8
env:
fail-fast: true

uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: php-cs-fixer, phpunit
- In addition to above tools any composer tool or package can also be set up globally by specifying it as
vendor/package
matching the listing on Packagist. This format accepts the same version constraints ascomposer
.
- name: Setup PHP with tools
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: vimeo/psalm
-
To set up a particular version of a tool, specify it in the form
tool:version
.Version can be in the following format:
- Semver. For example
tool:1.2.3
ortool:1.2.3-beta1
. - Major version. For example
tool:1
ortool:1.x
. - Major and minor version. For example
tool:1.2
ortool:1.2.x
.
When you specify just the major version or the version in
major.minor
format, the latest patch version matching the input will be setup.Except for major versions of
composer
, For other tools when you specify only themajor
version or the version inmajor.minor
format for any tool you can get rate limited by GitHub's API. To avoid this, it is recommended to provide aGitHub
OAuth token. You can do that by settingCOMPOSER_TOKEN
environment variable. - Semver. For example
- name: Setup PHP with tools
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: php-cs-fixer:3, phpunit:8.5
env:
COMPOSER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- The latest stable version of
composer
is set up by default. You can set up the requiredcomposer
version by specifying the major versionv1
orv2
, or the version inmajor.minor
orsemver
format, Additionally for composersnapshot
andpreview
can also be specified to set up the respective releases.
- name: Setup PHP with composer v2
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: composer:v2
- If you do not use composer in your workflow, you can specify
tools: none
to skip it.
- name: Setup PHP without composer
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: none
-
Scripts
phpize
andphp-config
are set up with the same version as of the input PHP version. -
The latest version of
blackfire
cli is set up whenblackfire
is specified in tools input. Please refer to the official documentation for usingblackfire
with GitHub Actions. -
Tools
prestissimo
andcomposer-prefetcher
will be skipped unlesscomposer:v1
is also specified in tools input. It is recommended to dropprestissimo
and usecomposer v2
. -
By default, tools which cannot be set up gracefully leave an error message in the logs, the action is not interrupted. To change this behaviour you can set
fail-fast
flag totrue
.
- name: Setup PHP with fail-fast
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: deployer
env:
fail-fast: true
Notes
- Input
tools
is useful to set up tools which you only use in GitHub Actions, thus keeping yourcomposer.json
tidy. - If you do not want to use all your dev-dependencies in GitHub Actions workflow, you can run composer with
--no-dev
and install required tools usingtools
input to speed up your workflow. - If you have a tool in your
composer.json
, do not set up it withtools
input as the two instances of the tool might conflict.

to disable both Xdebug
and PCOV
.
Disable coverage for these reasons:
- You are not generating coverage reports while testing.
- It will disable
Xdebug
, which will have a positive impact on PHP performance. - You are using
phpdbg
for running your tests. - You are profiling your code using
blackfire
. - You are using PHP in JIT mode. Please refer to JIT configuration section for more details.

env:
phpts: ts # specify ts or nts
Force Update Setup
Update to the latest patch of PHP versions.
- Pre-installed PHP versions on the GitHub Actions images are not updated to their latest patch release by default.
- You can specify the
update
environment variable totrue
for updating to the latest release.
- name: Setup PHP with latest versions
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
env:

Verbose Setup
Debug your workflow
To debug any issues, you can use the verbose
tag instead of v2
.
- name: Setup PHP with logs
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@verbose
with:
php-version: '8.0'
Multi-Arch Setup
Setup PHP on multiple architecture on Ubuntu GitHub Runners.
PHP 5.6
toPHP 8.0
are supported bysetup-php
on multiple architecture onUbuntu
.- For this, you can use
shivammathur/node
images as containers. These have compatibleNodejs
installed for JavaScript based GitHub Actions. - Currently, for
ARM
based setup, you will need self-hosted runners.
jobs:
run:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
container: shivammathur/node:latest-${{ matrix.arch }}
strategy:
matrix:
arch: ["amd64", "i386"]
steps:
- name: Install PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
Self Hosted Setup
Setup PHP on a self-hosted runner.
-
To set up a containerised self-hosted runner, refer to the following guides as per your base operating system.
-
To set up the runner directly on the host OS or in a virtual machine, follow this requirements guide before setting up the self-hosted runner.
-
If your workflow uses service containers, then set up the runner on a Linux host or in a Linux virtual machine. GitHub Actions does not support nested virtualization on Linux, so services will not work in a dockerized container.
Specify the environment variable runner
with the value self-hosted
. Without this your workflow will fail.
jobs:
run:
runs-on: self-hosted
strategy:
matrix:
php-versions: ['5.6', '7.0', '7.1', '7.2', '7.3', '7.4', '8.0']
name: PHP ${{ matrix.php-versions }}
steps:
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: ${{ matrix.php-versions }}
env:
runner: self-hosted # Specify the runner.
Notes
- Do not set up multiple self-hosted runners on a single server instance as parallel workflow will conflict with each other.
- Do not set up self-hosted runners on the side on your development environment or your production server.
- Avoid using the same labels for your
self-hosted
runners which are used byGitHub-hosted
runners.
Local Testing Setup
Test your
Ubuntu
workflow locally usingnektos/act
.
jobs:
run:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
Run the workflow locally with act
using shivammathur/node
docker images.
Choose the image tag which matches the runs-on
property in your workflow. For example, if you are using ubuntu-20.04
in your workflow, run act -P ubuntu-20.04=shivammathur/node:20.04
.
# For runs-on: ubuntu-latest
act -P ubuntu-latest=shivammathur/node:latest
# For runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
act -P ubuntu-20.04=shivammathur/node:2004
# For runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
act -P ubuntu-18.04=shivammathur/node:1804
JIT Configuration
Enable Just-in-time(JIT) on PHP 8.0 and above.
- To enable JIT, enable
opcache
in cli mode by settingopcache.enable_cli=1
. - JIT conflicts with
Xdebug
,PCOV
, and other extensions which overridezend_execute_ex
function, so setcoverage: none
and disable any such extension if added. - By default,
opcache.jit=1235
andopcache.jit_buffer_size=256M
are set which can be changed usingini-values
input. - For detailed information about JIT related directives refer to the
official PHP documentation
.
For example to enable JIT in tracing
mode with buffer size of 64 MB
.
- name: Setup PHP with JIT in tracing mode
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
coverage: none
ini-values: opcache.enable_cli=1, opcache.jit=tracing, opcache.jit_buffer_size=64M
Cache Extensions
You can cache PHP extensions using shivammathur/cache-extensions
and action/cache
GitHub Actions. Extensions which take very long to set up when cached are available in the next workflow run and are enabled directly. This reduces the workflow execution time.
Refer to shivammathur/cache-extensions
for details.
Cache Composer Dependencies
If your project uses composer, you can persist the composer's internal cache directory. Dependencies cached are loaded directly instead of downloading them while installation. The files cached are available across check-runs and will reduce the workflow execution time.
- name: Get composer cache directory
id: composer-cache
run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(composer config cache-files-dir)"
- name: Cache dependencies
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: ${{ steps.composer-cache.outputs.dir }}
key: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ hashFiles('**/composer.lock') }}
restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-
- name: Install dependencies
run: composer install --prefer-dist
Notes
- Please do not cache
vendor
directory usingaction/cache
as that will have side effects. - If you do not commit
composer.lock
, you can use the hash ofcomposer.json
as the key for your cache.
key: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ hashFiles('**/composer.json') }}
- If you support a range of
composer
dependencies and useprefer-lowest
andprefer-stable
options, you can store them in your matrix and add them to the keys.
key: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ hashFiles('**/composer.lock') }}-${{ matrix.prefer }}-
restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ matrix.prefer }}-
Composer GitHub OAuth
If you have a number of workflows which set up multiple tools or have many composer dependencies, you might hit the GitHub's rate limit for composer. Also, if you specify only the major version or the version in major.minor
format, you can hit the rate limit. To avoid this you can specify an OAuth
token by setting COMPOSER_TOKEN
environment variable. You can use GITHUB_TOKEN
secret for this purpose.
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
env:
COMPOSER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
Inline PHP Scripts
If you have to run multiple lines of PHP code in your workflow, you can do that easily without saving it to a file.
Put the code in the run property of a step and specify the shell as php {0}
.
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
- name: Run PHP code
shell: php {0}
run: |
$welcome = "Hello, world";
echo $welcome;
Problem Matchers
Problem matchers are json
configurations which identify errors and warnings in your logs and surface them prominently in the GitHub Actions UI by highlighting them and creating code annotations.
PHP
Setup problem matchers for your PHP
output by adding this step after the setup-php
step.
- name: Setup problem matchers for PHP
run: echo "::add-matcher::${{ runner.tool_cache }}/php.json"
PHPUnit
Setup problem matchers for your PHPUnit
output by adding this step after the setup-php
step.
- name: Setup problem matchers for PHPUnit
run: echo "::add-matcher::${{ runner.tool_cache }}/phpunit.json"
PHPStan
PHPStan supports error reporting in GitHub Actions, so it does not require problem matchers.
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: phpstan
- name: Run PHPStan
run: phpstan analyse src
Psalm
Psalm supports error reporting in GitHub Actions with an output format github
.
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: psalm
- name: Run Psalm
run: psalm --output-format=github
Tools with checkstyle support
For tools that support checkstyle
reporting like phpstan
, psalm
, php-cs-fixer
and phpcs
you can use cs2pr
to annotate your code.
For examples refer to cs2pr documentation.
Here is an example with
phpcs
.
- name: Setup PHP
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: '8.0'
tools: cs2pr, phpcs
- name: Run phpcs
run: phpcs -q --report=checkstyle src | cs2pr

Versioning
- Use the
v2
tag assetup-php
version. It is a rolling tag and is synced with the latest minor and patch releases. Withv2
you automatically get the bug fixes, security patches, new features and support for latest PHP releases. For debugging any issuesverbose
tag can be used temporarily. It outputs all the logs and is also synced with the latest releases. - Semantic release versions can also be used. It is recommended to use dependabot with semantic versioning to keep the actions in your workflows up to date.
- Commit SHA can also be used, but are not recommended. They have to be updated with every release manually, without which you will not get any bug fixes, security patches or new features.
- It is highly discouraged to use the
master
branch as version, it might break your workflow after major releases as they have breaking changes. - If you are using the
v1
tag or a1.x.y
version, you should switch to v2 asv1
only gets critical bug fixes. Maintenance support forv1
will be dropped with the lastPHP 8.0
release.
