We have quite a few ways to install different versions of PHP in a local development environment. As a developer, we need all those versions to serve different projects. Recently I tried setting up Laravel Valet on my Mac. So this is all about setting and using different PHP versions with valet.

Fixer.io is a simple and lightweight API for current and historical foreign exchange rates. We came across this wonderful service while developing a recent project. I searched but couldn’t find any Fixer.io PHP client fitting our needs for the project so I decided to build a PHP and Laravel package for the same.
