Allow input for php executable

[pkruithof]

Not sure if this is even possible or in scope for this action, but we install dependencies inside a Docker container where we also have our required extensions available. We can't use this action with that unfortunately. I think that if you're able to set the php/composer executable that this could work something like this:

- uses: "ramsey/composer-install@v1"
  with:
    php: "docker-compose run --rm php"

The main reason we do it this way is because some packages install different versions depending on the php environment (like Ocramius/ProxyManager if I remember correctly). We could replicate our environment using shivammathur/setup-php of course, but that would mean maintaining our php environment in 2 places.

Is this something you'd consider?

You're looking to set the php executable or the composer one? Or both?

[pkruithof]

Good question, I think setting the composer executable should be enough. Then again being able to set the php executable is maybe a more portable solution. I'm not sure.

Quick update... I'll be adding php-path and composer-path input parameters, so you can set one or the other, or both. Expect to see this in (maybe) version 2.1.0.

Cheers!
