How to Install PHPCI on Windows 10

If you are looking to install PHPCI on your Windows 10 operating system, then you have come to the right place. This tutorial will guide you through the entire installation process step by step.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, you need to have the following items:

1. A web server running on your machine. You can install a web server like Apache or Nginx.

2. PHP version 5.4 or higher installed on your machine. You can download PHP from the official PHP website.

3. A database server like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Step 1: Download PHPCI

The first step is to download the latest version of PHPCI from the official website phptesting.org. Once the download is complete, extract the PHPCI files into a directory of your choice. In this example, we will extract the files to the C:\xampp\htdocs\phpci directory.

Step 2: Configure the Database

PHPCI requires a database to function properly. You can use any database server software like MySQL or PostgreSQL. In this tutorial, we will use MySQL.

1. Open the MySQL command prompt or the MySQL Workbench.

2. Create a new database by running the following command:

CREATE DATABASE phpci;

3. Create a new user and grant privileges to the phpci database by running the following command.

CREATE USER 'phpci'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpci.* TO 'phpci'@'localhost';

4. Replace 'password' with your desired password for the phpci user.

Step 3: Configure PHPCI

PHPCI has a configuration file located at C:\xampp\htdocs\phpci\PHPCI\PHPCI\Config.php. Open the configuration file in a text editor and modify the following options:

1. Change the value of $_CONFIG['bypass_ssl_verification'] to true if you are using a self-signed SSL certificate.

2. Modify the $_CONFIG['build_settings']['mysql_host'] to localhost.

3. Modify the $_CONFIG['build_settings']['mysql_user'] to phpci.

4. Modify the $_CONFIG['build_settings']['mysql_pass'] to the password you set for the phpci user.

5. Modify the $_CONFIG['build_settings']['mysql_db'] to phpci.

6. Modify the $_CONFIG['phpunit']['binary'] to point to your PHPunit binary file.

Step 4: Run PHPCI

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpci. This will open the PHPCI installer page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

Once the installation process is complete, you can access PHPCI by navigating to http://localhost/phpci in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHPCI on your Windows 10 operating system.
