PHP version is inaccurate

[samihsoylu]

Hi @MilesChou

Actions in MilesChou/composer-action/ do not check what PHP version is available while running the "composer --help" command within the testing workflow. Revealing with php -v would add certainty that it is the expected PHP version.

I say this, because I recently I encountered this

That the docker container PHP version appears to be 8.1 🤔

Do you see something wrong in my workflow file? This issue did not exist before.

name: CI

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]

jobs:
  build74:
    name: PHP 7.4 Code quality check
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: MilesChou/composer-action/7.4@master
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Validate composer.json and composer.lock
        run: composer validate --no-interaction --strict

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: composer install --prefer-dist --no-progress --no-suggest

      - name: Check for PHP syntax errors
        run: ./vendor/bin/parallel-lint --exclude vendor/ .

      - name: Validate PHP code style
        run: ./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix -v --dry-run --using-cache=no .

Thank you

        with:
          arg: validate --no-interaction --strict

      - name: Install dependencies

Specifying "uses" under each step seems to have fixed the problem, but I don't find it clean since I need PHP in all my steps. Defining use once would have been nice.

Thank you for your help

You can try this actions

Laravel is good example
