Puppet Forge GitHub tag

puppet-php-fact

A custom Puppet fact for reporting the full version of all installed PHP packages.

What this fact returns

This custom fact will return all installed versions of php including multiple Software Collections version. This is more useful than the typical version returned by php -v because this fact also returns the backported patch number. You can find information about backporting at https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting

Example Facter Output:

This is what it looks like when you have the stock PHP installed along with the 5.5 version that is only available via CentOS or SoftwareCollections.org and versions 5.6 and 7.0 from Red Hat.
