Install

To install the Ansible role, use this command:

ansible-galaxy install darexsu.php --force

Merge Behavior

You can either replace or merge dictionaries (use "hash_behaviour=replace" in ansible.cfg):

# Replace             # Merge
---                   ---
  vars:                 vars:
    dict:                 merge:
      a: "value"            dict: 
      b: "value"              a: "value" 
                              b: "value"

# How does merge work?:
Your vars [host_vars]  -->  default vars [current role] --> default vars [include role]

  dict:          dict:              dict:
    a: "1" -->     a: "1"    -->      a: "1"
                   b: "2"    -->      b: "2"
                                      c: "3"

The above structure is repeated for the other configurations, such as installing PHP from a specific repository, configuring php.ini, and handling PHP-FPM. Each example follows the same YAML format with the corresponding details.

Summary
