An introduction to Phing the PHP build system

Download to read offline

Talk given on 27th January 2012 at PHP Benelux 2012 conference in Antwerp, Belgium.

An insight into the Phing build system for PHP, why and how you might use it along with where it sits with related tools such as PHPUnit, PHP Code Sniffer, PHP Mess Detector etc. We will also take a brief look at how Phing can integrate with Continuous Integration, taking Jenkins as our example. We will also be including some simple practical demos of Phing in action!

  • Phing = PHing Is Not Gnu make\n\nDeveloper build toolkit - tool for every job (almost)!\nLGPL Licensed\n\nMy knowledge of Phing about 20%, however there's great documentation!\n
  • Web applications require deployment, packaging, testing, setting permissions, configuration, creating log files\nDoing so by hand every time is scary!\n
  • \n\n

  • Project: root XML node\nTargets: collection of tasks, together for a reason\nTasks: call to specific action e.g. copy, symlink etc.\n
  • \n\n
  • \n\n
  • Fileset selectors - powerful matching, as well as **\ndate based, size, file/dir, related files present\nMapper - also a good tool, convert filenames during build\nFilters (filterchains) - transform data during build, e.g. strip comments, replace values in config files (via regex)\n<php> task - evaluate PHP expression/Fn call result stored in property\nEmbed PHP direct in build file using <adhoc> task (Needs to be <adhoc><![CDATA[...]]></adhoc>\n

  • CI Tools watch for commits, then kick start the build process, in this case Phing\nAlternatives to Jenkins: CruiseControl (Phing builder), Xinc - PHP CI tool, uses Phing\n
