使用php71模拟php70的环境是可能的吗？

Question

I've installed version 7.1 of php. I am developing a library that may work on different php version. I want to run ...

composer install

simulating an environment with php70. The purpose is to avoid php packages in composer.lock that require php71. Is it possibile?

Answer 1

Add something like:

"config": {                                                                       
    "platform": {                                                                
        "php": "~7.0.0"
    }
}

into your composer.json. This should fix the platform for dependency libs.
