IBM Cloud PHP入门教程-“ php composer.phar install”错误

Question

I am trying to complete the IBM Cloud PHP Getting started tutorial at this on a Windows 10 machine.

I tried using PHP 7.3 (7.3.2) (download file name is php-7.3.2-nts-Win32-VC15-x64.zip).

I had already installed "The VC15 builds require to have the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 x64" (vc_redist.x64.exe)

In step 2,

php composer.phar install

I get the error

C:\temp\get-started-php>php composer.phar install Loading composer repositories with package information Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file 

[ErrorException] "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? 

install [--prefer-source] [--prefer-dist] [--dry-run] [--dev] [--no-dev] [--no-custom-installers] [--no-autoloader] [--no-scripts] [--no-progress] [--no-suggest] [-v|vv|vvv|--verbose] [-o|--optimize-autoloader] [-a|--classmap-authoritative] [--apcu-autoloader] [--ignore-platform-reqs] [--] [<packages>]... 

I have reviewed "Warning: “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”. Did you mean to use “continue 2”?" at this post in stackoverflow and tried both composer update and composer self-update .

I still get the "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? error.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this is appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, this one is new in php 7.3

you can try composer self-update or download the latest version of composer.phar.

If the error is thrown in a third-party library, you can hardly do more then opening tickets with them.
