Get the Symfony and PHP versions of the current environment

Published on 2019-01-15 • Modified on 2019-01-15

It is sometimes useful to have these information. In this project I am displaying them to show you the environment the code is running on so you can compare with your own one. It allows to avoid to harcode values and all will be up to date even after system migrations or composer updates.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Twig\Extension;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel;

/**
 * Server environment related stuff.
 */
class EnvExtension extends \Twig_Extension implements \Twig_Extension_GlobalsInterface
{
    public function getGlobals(): array
    {
        $phpVersion = PHP_VERSION;
        $parts = explode('.', $phpVersion);
        $phpMinorVersion = $parts[0].'.'.$parts[1];
        $phpVersion = $phpMinorVersion.'.'.explode('-', $parts[2])[0] ?? '';
        $sfVersion = Kernel::VERSION;
        $sfVersionInfos = explode('.', Kernel::VERSION);

        $globals = [
            'php_version' => $phpVersion,
            'php_minor_version' => $phpMinorVersion,
            'sf_version' => $sfVersion,
            'sf_minor_version' => $sfVersionInfos[0].'.'.$sfVersionInfos[1],
        ];

        return $globals;
    }
}

Bonus, the snippet to run this code: 🎉

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Controller\Snippet;

use App\Twig\Extension\EnvExtension;

/**
 * I am using a PHP trait to isolate each snippet in a file.
 * This code should be called from a Symfony controller extending AbstractController (as of Symfony 4.2)
 * or Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller (Symfony <= 4.1).
 * Services are injected in the main controller constructor.
 *
 * @property EnvExtension $envExtension
 */
trait Snippet12Trait
{
    public function snippet12(): void
    {
        print_r($this->envExtension->getGlobals()); // That's it! 😁
    }
}
