How to install php extensions?

[dylanblokhuis]

Installing a php8.2-{extension} and moving the .so into /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20220829 will end up with a core_symbols error.

Your extensions must be compiled with ZTS enabled.

Thanks, got it. I managed to add extensions by adding --with-{extension} flags while building the frankenphp branch of php-src.

Shouldn't we compile all extensions in the docker image and allow users to use "extension=..." in their custom php.ini conf?

[dunglas]

This could indeed be a good idea. How does the official PHP image? The Docker image needs to be entirely revamped anyway, it could be improved a lot.

I'm working right now on allowing to customize php.ini in a more common way, but if we want to compile everything, I guess we can add --enable-all in the "configure" call, add the missing phpize dependencies, and it should be doable.

Is there any way to allow it to "just work" with https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer?
