How to check whether the PHP test environment is set up properly

As a programmer or website developer, it is very important to build a good PHP testing environment during the development process. A good testing environment can not only quickly locate problems and reduce errors, but also improve development efficiency and shorten the development cycle. So, how to check whether the PHP test environment is set up?

The first step is to check whether PHP is installed

First, you need to check whether PHP is installed on the system. You can check it with the following command:

php -v

If PHP has been installed on the system, the PHP version number will be displayed. If it is not installed, you need to install PHP before proceeding to the next step.

The second step is to check whether Apache or Nginx has been installed

When building a PHP test environment, you need to use a Web Server to support the parsing of PHP files. Currently popular web servers include Apache and Nginx. To check whether the Web Server has been installed, you can enter the following command:

httpd -v #Apache
nginx -v #Nginx

If the Web Server has been installed, the version number of the Web Server will be displayed. If it has not been installed yet, you need to install a Web Server before starting the next step.

The third step, check the PHP configuration

If PHP has been installed and the Web Server has started normally, then you need to check whether the PHP configuration is correct. The PHP configuration file is php.ini. In Linux systems, it is usually located at /etc/php.ini or /usr/local/lib/php.ini.

You can use the following command to check the location of the php.ini file:

php -i | grep php.ini

If you have found the path to the php.ini file, you can use the following command to check whether the basic configuration of PHP is correct. The following are some configuration items that need to be checked:

; 检查错误报告是否开启
display_errors = On 

; 检查错误报告的级别是否正确
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

; 检查时区设置是否正确
date.timezone = Asia/Shanghai

; 检查最大执行时间是否够长
max_execution_time = 60

If the above configurations are correct, you can also perform other PHP-related configurations in the php.ini file.

The fourth step is to check whether the PHP extension is installed

PHP has many extensions, such as MySQL, CURL, gd, etc. During the development process, corresponding extensions need to be installed according to actual needs. To check whether the required extensions are currently installed, you can use the following command:

php -m

This command can list the currently installed PHP extensions. If you need to install an extension, you can use the following command:

# 安装MySQL扩展
yum install php-mysql

# 安装CURL扩展
yum install php-curl

It should be noted that some extensions require manual compilation and installation.

Summary

Through the above four steps, you can quickly check whether the PHP test environment is set up. Generally speaking, if the above steps are completed correctly, you can start PHP development. Of course, if problems are discovered during actual use, they need to be repaired in time and the test environment needs to be optimized according to the actual situation.
