Symfony 5: The Fast Track book and installing a local PHP version that works!
Having backed Fabien Potencier's "Symfony 5: The Fast Track" book on Kickstarter, I received the book a few weeks ago, and had a chance over the weekend to start reading it.As a Macbook/OSX user, his recommended environment includes a current locally installed version of PHP with a number of php extension libraries. You also need installation of the php standard composer tool, as well as docker. As I have a Macbook running OSX Mojave, I had to take a number of steps to be able to get started following the book and getting a working installation of the guestbook project using the book's recipe. Here's what I did:
Get the Symfony CLI tool!
Installation instructions and logging into SymfonyCloud are documented. You will want to make a SymfonyCloud (formerly Sensio) account if you didn't already have one.
The symfony cli tool represents the evolution of the original symfony “php console” command, but it's more like an orchestration tool in that it orchestrates git, composer, docker and yarn. The book was written assuming you will use the symfony tool so you won't get far without it.
Local PHP
There are a variety of different ways to get a local updated PHP version, but after trying a few options and running into numerous problems, I settled on Macports. I don't cover that here, but you need to install macports to follow this howto.
With macports installed, you are now ready to install php7.3:
Now select this version to be current.
After opening a new terminal window, and running “php -v”:
First attempt at installing the book code with the symfony cli
Following the instructions in the book, you'll use the symfony cli:
It starts by doing a dependency check on the required modules, and you will likely see output like this:
Adding the required PHP extensions and other packages
Note that I've listed these as individual macport installs, but you can combine them into one by listing all the packages after 'sudo port install' ie. sudo port install php73-gd php73-intl ... etc.
This list will satisfy the listed dependencies, however to get a full working install, there are additional extensions required for the composer post install scripts, curl and several other packages are needed:
If you list all the installed macport packages you should see this list along with any other packages you might have installed previously, if you already had been using macports:
If you had some false starts or incremental installs, you can 'rm -rf guestbook' and re-run the symfony new
command.
If everything worked as it should, when you open your browser and enter localhost:8000 as the url you should see a working guestbook page:
