How To: Install PHP Extensions for InterWorx¶
InterWorx provides access to the REMI repository for quick and simple
installation of PHP extensions such as: zip, ioncube-loader, and more using
normal yum
commands.
To Install a PHP Extension for the System PHP Version¶
Note
The System PHP configuration and extensions, are separate from the extensions for PHP versions provided by the Multiple-PHP tool, even when the PHP version number is the same. More information on the Multiple-PHP tool can be found here.
Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal
Run
yum install php-{extension}
replacing{extension}
with the name of the extension. For example, to install the ioncube-loader module:yum install php-ioncube-loader
Restart Apache and PHP-FPM
systemctl restart httpd ~iworx/bin/php-fpm.pex --restart-fpm
To Install a PHP Extension for a PHP Version Provided by the Multiple-PHP Tool¶
Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal
Run
yum install php{version}-php-{extension}
replacing{version}
with the PHP version number, without periods, and replacing{extension}
with the name of the the extension. For example, to install the ioncube-loader module for PHP 7.4:yum install php74-php-ioncube-loader
Restart Apache and PHP-FPM
systemctl restart httpd ~iworx/bin/php-fpm.pex --restart-fpm
To Find a PHP Extension Package Without the Exact Package Name¶
Not every package will directly adhere to the php-{extension}
format.
Additionally, the name of the exact package may be unknown to the
administrator. Therefore, it may be necessary to search for the desired
extension in yum
.
Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal
Run
yum search {extension}
replacing{extension}
with the desired PHP extension. For example, it may be difficult to know that the zip module PHP extension is namedphp-pecl-zip
. A good way to search for this extension is to search viayum search zip
and then stripping out packages that are unrelated to PHP by grepping results that contain php:[root@test ~]# yum search zip | grep php * remi-php73: mirror.pit.teraswitch.com iworxphp72-php-zip.x86_64 : ZIP archive management extension for PHP php-mcnetic-zipstreamer.noarch : Stream zip files without i/o overhead php-pclzip.noarch : Compression and extraction functions for Zip formatted php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php-zipstream.noarch : Streaming dynamic zip from PHP without writing to the php54-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php55-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php56-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php70-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php71-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php72-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php73-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php74-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php80-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension php81-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension
