PHP

How json2vars-setter handles PHP, and how the example workflow provisions it.

json2vars-setter integration

Supported runners

The example matrix runs on Ubuntu / Windows / macOS:

ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest

Any GitHub-hosted runner the setup action supports also works - the OS list is just the os array in your matrix JSON.

Supported versions

1

      "8.3",
      "8.4"
    ]
  }
}
