So much of the community relies on @shivammathur’s work, whether you’re using setup-php with GitHub Actions or his Homebrew tap for builds of PHP 5.6 through 8.3-dev. What he does is no small feat, and it helps the rest of us get our jobs done.

Please consider sponsoring him on GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/shivammathur

If your company uses setup-php, get them to sponsor!

@ramsey @shivammathur And Remi, don’t forgot about Remi’s RPMs.

@ondrej @shivammathur Or your PPA! 😁

For those reading this thread, you can find ways to donate to @remi at https://rpms.remirepo.net and to @ondrej at https://deb.sury.org

If you use their packages, please donate. Imagine what your job would be like if they were no longer able to produce these packages. 😧

arnan,

@ramsey Never heard of him, or his project ;)
Guess you need to be a Github user to know and rely on it.

@arnan For setup-php, yes. It’s a GitHub Action.

For the Homebrew taps, I think those work on both macOS and Linux.

arnan,

@ramsey Hmm yes, but not everyone uses Homebrew 🤣 I haven't used that for several years, and when I did only for a dns resolver thing.

@arnan If you don’t use his work, then no worries. No need to donate. 🙂

arnan,

@ramsey Hah right, I just saw your post thought "whoa I use PHP almost every day and never heard of this guy?" Then looked at his mastodon profile and github page and wondered how I could ever have heard of him other than seeing posts like yours 🤪

@arnan Just because you've never heard of someone doesn't necessarily mean you don't use their work.

Had you ever heard of me before this exchange? My bet is not, but I'm one of the release managers for PHP 8.1 and 8.2. 🙂

arnan,

@ramsey I actually knew that, somehow 🤣
But I know what you mean. Most people using my WP stuff don't know who I am either... Sometimes it's frustrating.
