A PHP Database Migration Tool

I liked the simplicity of the php-database-migration tool created by alwex. I have forked the repository to add configuration changes that make integration into existing products easier, as well as providing more flexibility to developers.

Planned Features

I am currently focusing on the following features:

• User defined directories
• Support for multiple databases with separate migrations
• Better handling of remote migrations without local

Getting Started

This section will be added to once the vision for the package is more complete.

Installation

todo

Note: The package has not been added to packagist so you aren't able to install via Composer yet.

Configuration

The package will store user environment configuration and migrations in the php_db_migration folder relative to where the application is ran from. If you wish to change directories used by the package create a new PHP file where you want to run the application from. Place the following into the file:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$config = array(
    'working_path' => __DIR__ . '/custom_dir',
    'migration_path' => __DIR__ . '/custom_dir/migrations',
    'environment_path' => __DIR__ . '/custom_dir/environments'
);

$app = new Migrate\Manager($config);

// Add custom commands here.
// $app->add(new MyCustomCommand());

$app->run();

Adjust the working_path, migration_path, and environment_path fields to suit your requirements. If you leave the environment_path and migration_path empty then environments and migrations will be used respectively as defaults within the working_path directory.

Simple Usage

Run the program on the commandline from the project root php bin/migrate or the custom runner you created if you changed the paths.
