   8 Testing PECL extensions on Travis-CI has always been
   9 cumbersome for me; build PHP in different versions and debug/threadsafe
  10 flavors, install PECL dependencies and so on, which usually results in a mess
  11 of command line scripts, repeated for every extension.
  12
  13 Enter [travis-pecl](https://github.com/m6w6/travis-pecl).
  14
  15 This tiny support bin comes with a Makefile and small PHP scripts to generate
  16 the build matrix and check your package.xml file. It supports building PHP in
  17 a wide variety of flavors, installing PECL dependencies from the PECL website
  18 or from bundled [pharext](https://github.com/m6w6/pharext) packages and
  19 running the testsuite with a comprehensive set of commands.
  20
  21 Let's look at a few commands with a properly set up environment from the test
  22 matrix:
  23
  24 ```yaml
  25 env:
  26  - PHP=5.6 enable_debug=yes with_iconv=yes enable_json=yes
  27 ```
  28
  29 ### Build PHP:
  30 ```sh
  31 make -f travis/pecl/Makefile php
  32 ```
  33 ### Install a PECL dependency:
  34 ```sh
  35 make -f travis/pecl/Makefile pecl PECL=propro
  36 ```
  37 ### Install a PECL dependency from a [pharext](https://github.com/m6w6/pharext) package, located in travis/:
  38 ```sh
  39 make -f travis/pecl/Makefile pharext/raphf-phpng
  40 ```
  41 ### Build the currently checked out extension:
  42 ```sh
  43 make -f travis/pecl/Makefile ext PECL=http
  44 ```
  45 ### Run the testsuite:
  46 ```sh
  47 make -f travis/pecl/Makefile test
  48 ```
