OS Support

  • Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) amd64
  • Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) amd64
  • Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) amd64
  • Debian 10 (Buster) amd64
  • Debian 11 (Bullseye) amd64

All other distributions based on the above operating systems will also be supported on best effort basis.

Install

  • Fetch the installer:
curl -sSLO https://github.com/shivammathur/php-builder/releases/latest/download/install.sh
chmod a+x ./install.sh
  • Then, to install PHP 8.2:
./install.sh 8.2

or, to install PHP 8.1:

./install.sh 8.1
  • Finally, test your PHP version:
php -v

Notes:

  • All PHP versions have prefix /usr and the directory structure will be same as that of Debian builds.
  • Any pre-existing extensions INI configuration for the PHP version will be removed upon installation.
  • The installer will switch to the PHP version you installed.

Extensions

  • Expand to check the extensions installed along with PHP.

    amqp, apcu, ast, bcmath, bz2, calendar, Core, ctype, curl, date, dba, dom, ds, enchant, exif, FFI, fileinfo, filter, ftp, gd, gettext, gmp, hash, iconv, igbinary, imagick, imap, intl, json, ldap, libxml, mbstring, memcache, memcached, mongodb, msgpack, mysqli, mysqlnd, odbc, openssl, pcntl, pcov, pcre, PDO, pdo_dblib, PDO_Firebird, pdo_mysql, PDO_ODBC, pdo_pgsql, pdo_sqlite, pdo_sqlsrv, pgsql, Phar, posix, pspell, readline, redis, Reflection, session, shmop, SimpleXML, soap, sockets, sodium, SPL, sqlite3, sqlsrv, standard, sysvmsg, sysvsem, sysvshm, tidy, tokenizer, xdebug, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, xsl, zip, zlib, Xdebug, Zend OPcache

  • Extension PCOV is disabled by default as Xdebug is enabled.

  • You can switch to PCOV by disabling Xdebug using phpdismod and enabling it using phpenmod.

phpdismod -v <ALL|php-version> -s <ALL|sapi-name> xdebug
phpenmod -v <ALL|php-version> -s <ALL|sapi-name> pcov

  • More extensions can also be installed from ppa:ondrej/php

  • PECL is also installed along with PHP, so compatible extensions can also be installed using it. These will be enabled using the pecl.ini module which is linked to all SAPIs.

pecl install <extension>

JIT

PHP 8.0 and above versions have a JIT(Just-In-Time) compiler.

It is disabled by default, and can be enabled by the following steps:

  • First, disable Xdebug and PCOV as they are not compatible with JIT.
phpdismod -v <ALL|php-version> -s <ALL|sapi-name> xdebug pcov
  • Then enable JIT using the switch_jit script for the same PHP versions and SAPIs.
switch_jit -v <ALL|php-version> -s <ALL|sapi-name> enable -m <jit_mode> -b <jit_buffer_size>

If you do not specify -m or -b, the default for JIT mode is tracing, and for JIT buffer size it is 128M.

  • If you get a warning about incompatible extensions, check if you installed any other third-party extensions which are incompatible with JIT.

To disable JIT:

switch_jit -v <php-version> -s <ALL|sapi-name> disable

SAPI support

These SAPIs are installed by default:

  • apache2-handler
  • cli
  • cgi
  • embed
  • fpm
  • phpdbg

These SAPI:server configurations can be set up with the switch_sapi script:

  • apache:apache (apache2-handler with Apache)
  • fpm:apache (php-fpm with Apache)
  • cgi:apache (php-cgi with Apache)
  • fpm:nginx (php-fpm with Nginx)
switch_sapi -v <php-version> -s <sapi|sapi:server>

Note: When you run switch_sapi, the servers will have the default document root /var/www/html.
