I would like to suggest an improvement in the integration between Composer and PHP. Currently, Composer needs to be installed separately after PHP, which can make the initial setup more labor-intensive, especially for beginners.
My proposal is to add an option to install Composer directly during the PHP installation process. This could be implemented in two ways:
- Graphical interface installation: Add a checkbox in the PHP installer to allow Composer to be installed alongside PHP.
- Command-line installation: Include an optional flag, such as
--install-composer
, to automatically add Composer during the PHP setup process.
This approach would be entirely optional, maintaining flexibility for those who prefer to install Composer separately. For example:
- Those who want integrated installation can check the checkbox or use the flag.
- Those who prefer manual configuration can skip this option and proceed as usual.
I believe this functionality would reduce the complexity of the initial setup and encourage more people to use Composer, simplifying the process for beginners.
I am available to discuss this idea further and understand if it is feasible for the team and the community. Below are some ways to contact me:

António Amândio.
