This image is designed to supercede the legacy CircleCI PHP image, circleci/php.

cimg/php is a Docker image created by CircleCI with continuous integration builds in mind. Each tag contains a complete PHP version and Composer, everything required for builds to complete successfully in a CircleCI environment.

Getting Started

This image can be used with the CircleCI docker executor. For example:

jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/php:7.4.26
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: php --version

In the above example, the CircleCI PHP Docker image is used for the primary container. More specifically, the tag 7.4.26 is used meaning the version of PHP will be PHP v7.4.26. You can now use PHP within the steps for this job.

How This Image Works

This image contains the PHP programming language as well as Composer and a few very popular PHP extensions.

PHP Extensions

This image contains PEAR, PECL, and Docker PHP Helper scripts These tools can be used to install various PHP extensions and utilities. For example, to install pcov, the following command can be run:

sudo pecl install pcov

Docker PHP Helper scripts help to install Core extensions that are bundled with PHP.

One way to add supported packages is through mlocati's extension installer:

sudo -E install-php-extensions xsl xdebug
# Occassionally, you'll will also need to enable an extension:
sudo docker-php-ext-enable xdebug

Alternatively,

sudo docker-php-source extract && \
# To include configuration options, the sudo docker-php-ext-configure command and --with- flag can be used
sudo docker-php-ext-install iconv && \
sudo -E docker-php-ext-enable iconv	&& \
docker-php-source delete

Older versions of this image suggested installing extensions via apt-get. This is no longer the suggested route unless you are providing your own source of packages and know exactly what you are doing.

Composer v2

This image includes Composer v2 for tags built on November 2020 and after. For anyone who can't yet use this and needs to use Composer v1 instead, you can run the following at the beginning of your build:

- run: sudo composer self-update --1

Variants

Variant images typically contain the same base software, but with a few additional modifications.

Node.js

The Node.js variant is the same PHP image but with Node.js also installed. The Node.js variant can be used by appending -node to the end of an existing cimg/php tag.

jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/php:7.4.26-node
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: php --version
      - run: node --version

Browsers

The browsers variant is the same PHP image but with Node.js, Java, Selenium, and browser dependencies pre-installed via apt. The browsers variant can be used by appending -browser to the end of an existing cimg/php tag. The browsers variant is designed to work in conjunction with the CircleCI Browser Tools orb. You can use the orb to install a version of Google Chrome and/or Firefox into your build. The image contains all of the supporting tools needed to use both the browser and its driver.

orbs:
  browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/php:7.4.26-browsers
    steps:
      - browser-tools/install-browser-tools
      - checkout
      - run: |
          php --version
          node --version
          java --version
          google-chrome --version

Tagging Scheme

This image has the following tagging scheme:

cimg/php:<php-version>[-variant]

<php-version> - The version of PHP to use. This can be a full SemVer point release (such as 7.4.25) or just the minor release (such as 7.4). If you use the minor release tag, it will automatically point to future patch updates as they are released by the PHP Team. For example, the tag 7.4 points to PHP v7.4.25 now, but when the next release comes out, it will point to PHP v7.4.26.

[-variant] - Variant tags, if available, can optionally be used. For example, the Node.js variant could be used like this: cimg/php:7.4-node.
