Isa Eken

This package can switch the version of PHP that will run on Windows.

It can take as a parameter the version of PHP that you wish to use to run PHP scripts when they execute from the command line.

The class can write a batch script named PHP.BAT that executes the specified version of the PHP CLI executable program passing to PHP any parameters to that batch script.

When you develop code for other developers, it is always good to test that code on different versions of PHP, so the code is ready to handle the differences between the different versions of PHP.

This package creates a batch script for Windows named PHP.BAT that can be changed to run different versions of the PHP CLI version installed in the current computer.

This way, it is easy to switch the version of PHP that testing code will use.
