Set up

Full, fresh source

Most up to date copy of PHPTAL's code can be found in SVN repository: https://svn.motion-twin.com/phptal/trunk. Use this code rather than one provided in releases:

  svn co https://svn.motion-twin.com/phptal/trunk phptal

Tests

PHPTAL has a big tests suite that helps you ensure that your changes don't break anything (this is very helpful). To run the tests you'll need to install PHPUnit:

  pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
  pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

If you're getting permission errors, run each command with sudo. If that doesn't work, you can install PHPUnit manually.

To run tests, execute:

php tests/run-test.php

Patches

If you've made a change you'd like to share (and get accepted into official PHPTAL distribution):

• Ensure all tests pass.
• Create patch by running following command in directory with PHPTAL code:

svn diff > my_awesome_change.patch

• Send the patch to mailing list or PHPTAL's maintainer.
