CLI PHP Builds

Pre-built PHP binaries for the Upsun CLI.

Overview

This repository provides static PHP binaries for all platforms supported by the Upsun CLI. Binaries are built using static-php-cli and published as GitHub releases.

Supported Platforms

Platform	Architecture	Binary Name
Linux	x86_64	php-{VERSION}-linux-amd64
Linux	ARM64	php-{VERSION}-linux-arm64
macOS	Intel (x86_64)	php-{VERSION}-darwin-amd64
macOS	Apple Silicon	php-{VERSION}-darwin-arm64
Windows	x64	php-{VERSION}-windows-amd64.exe

PHP Configuration

Extensions included:

• curl
• filter
• openssl
• pcntl (Unix only)
• phar
• posix (Unix only)
• zlib

These are the minimum extensions required by the "legacy" PHP code in the Upsun CLI.

Usage

Download a Binary

# Example: Download PHP 8.4.3 for Linux x86_64
curl -fSL https://github.com/upsun/cli-php-builds/releases/download/php-8.4.3/php-8.4.3-linux-amd64 -o php
chmod +x php
./php -v

Verify Checksums

Each release includes a SHA256SUMS.txt file:

curl -fSL https://github.com/upsun/cli-php-builds/releases/download/php-8.4.3/SHA256SUMS.txt -o SHA256SUMS.txt
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt

Building New Versions

1. Go to Actions > Build PHP
2. Click Run workflow
3. Enter the PHP version (e.g., 8.4.3)
4. Optionally modify extensions or disable release creation
5. Click Run workflow

The workflow will:

1. Build PHP for all 5 platforms in parallel
2. Create a GitHub release with all binaries
3. Generate checksums

SSL Certificate Handling

• Linux/macOS: static-php-cli automatically uses the system CA bundle
• Windows: Requires explicit cacert.pem configuration (handled by the CLI)
