Add a new dependency to PHP and PEAR installer version

PHP version dependencies
PEAR installer dependencies

PHP and PEAR installer dependencies are required in all package.xml with at least the minimum version property set.

PHP version dependencies

PHP versioning requires at least the minimum version to install this package.xml Its made by setPhpDep() method.

In table below, consider we have each time $p2 produced by code :

  1. <?php
  2. require_once 'PEAR/PackageFileManager2.php';
  3.  
  4. PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_DIE);
  5.  
  6. $p2 = new PEAR_PackageFileManager2();
  7. ?>

PHP code XML equivalent 
           
$p2->setPhpDep('4.2.0');
           
          

           
 <dependencies>
  <required>
   <php>
    <min>4.2.0</min>
   </php>
  </required>
 </dependencies>
           
          

           
$p2->setPhpDep('4.2.0', '5.0.0');
           
          

           
 <dependencies>
  <required>
   <php>
    <min>4.2.0</min>

    <exclude>5.0.0</exclude>
    <exclude>5.0.1</exclude>
   </php>
  </required>
 </dependencies>

PEAR installer dependencies

PEAR installer versioning requires at least the minimum version of PEAR that can properly parse and install the package.xml containing it. Its made by setPearinstallerDep() method.

In table below, consider we have each time $p2 produced by code :

  1. <?php
  2. require_once 'PEAR/PackageFileManager2.php';
  3.  
  4. PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_DIE);
  5.  
  6. $p2 = new PEAR_PackageFileManager2();
  7. ?>

Table 10.2. setting PEAR installer dependencies

PHP code XML equivalent 
           
$p2->setPearinstallerDep('1.4.3');
           
          

           
 <dependencies>
  <required>
   <pearinstaller>
    <min>1.4.3</min>
   </pearinstaller>
  </required>
 </dependencies>
           
          

           
$p2->setPearinstallerDep('1.4.3', '1.4.11');
           
          

           
 <dependencies>
  <required>
   <pearinstaller>
    <min>1.4.3</min>
    <max>1.4.11</max>
   </pearinstaller>
  </required>
 </dependencies>
           
          

           
$p2->setPearinstallerDep('1.4.0', false, '1.4.3');
           
          

           
 <dependencies>
  <required>
   <pearinstaller>
    <min>1.4.0</min>
    <recommended>1.4.3</recommended>
   </pearinstaller>
  </required>
 </dependencies>
           
          

           
$p2->setPearinstallerDep('1.4.0', false, false,
    array('1.4.1', '1.4.2'));
