Ansible Role: PHP PEAR packages

Installs PHP PEAR packages on servers with PHP and php-pear already installed.

Requirements

PHP and php-pear (or the equivalent) must already be installed on the server, so the pear command can be run.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

php_pear_channels:
  - pear.phpunit.de
  - pear.symfony.com

The PEAR channels that should be discovered so pear libraries can be installed. By default, PEAR is not configured to autodiscover channels for libraries you would like installed, so you need to explicitly list all the libraries' channels here.

php_pear_libraries:
  - phpunit/PHPUnit
  - PHP_CodeSniffer

The libraries/extensions you would like installed via PEAR.

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.php

Example Playbook

- hosts: webservers
  vars_files:
    - vars/main.yml
  roles:
    - { role: geerlingguy.php-pear }

Inside vars/main.yml:

php_pear_channels:
  - pear.phpunit.de
php_pear_libraries:
  - phpunit/PHPUnit

TODO

• Continue refining the changed/failed conditions for PEAR. Yuck.
