[Bug]: Checking local PHP installation fails in Windows #365
Description
Extension Version
1.0.7
PHP Binary
Local PHP
Operating System
Windows
What happened?
The command issued by the extension to detect the PHP environment fails in Windows:
[info] Checking local PHP installation: php -r 'echo PHP_BINARY;'
[info] Falling back to system PHP installation
It's been found (see issue #145) that the culprit is this block of code in extensions,js:
options.set("local", {
check: "php -r 'echo PHP_BINARY;'",
command: `"{binaryPath}"`
});
The reason is that in Windows the single quotes are not a valid delimiter for the nested command.
But double quotes are valid in both Windows and Linux, so this can be fixed by replacing the line with:
check: 'php -r "echo PHP_BINARY;"'
This has been tested as a workaround as reported here.
