Arch Linux User Repository

Created binary repository on build.opensuse.org

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:el:archphp

For Arch Linux, edit /etc/pacman.conf and add the following (note that the order of repositories in pacman.conf is important, since pacman always downloads the first found package):

[home_el_archphp_Arch]
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/el:/archphp/Arch/$arch

Then run the following as root

key=$(curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:el:archphp/Arch/$(uname -m)/home_el_archphp_Arch.key)
fingerprint=$(gpg --quiet --with-colons --import-options show-only --import --fingerprint <<< "${key}" | awk -F: '$1 == "fpr" { print $10 }')
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --add - <<< "${key}"
pacman-key --lsign-key "${fingerprint}"

Refresh packages database

pacman -Syy

Now search for php packages you need:

pacman -Ss php73

Install with pacman -S packages you need or all PHP 7.3 packages with:

sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq | grep '^php73')

Read Carefully! Breaking changes in compare with native PHP package

1. Console version /usr/bin/php73 is installed with php73-cli subpackage, php73 doesn't include it anymore!!!

2. PEAR and PECL are available as php73-pear and php73-pecl subpackages

3. All shared modules are respresented as stand-alone subpackages and are not included with php73 package anymore.

4. No more extensions in php.ini itself!

Separate INI files for each extension are placed in /etc/php73/conf.d

They are loaded in correct order according to priority

build is failing for me

@jfrstnc opensuse hosting seems to be buggy :( unfortunately

Fails with error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (checksum)).
SigLevel = Never in pacman.conf doesn't help.

These 43 modules seem to be corrupted.

Db5.3 is used now and builds correctly. Updated package

@wgomg

this affects all php versions, see https://github.com/lamskoy/arch-phpbs/issues/7

Having this error when trying to install

checking for DB4 major version... configure: error: Header contains different version
==> ERROR: Se produjo un fallo en build().
        Cancelando...

Now builds fine against new openssl ;)

does no longer build since update today

Thank you very much, el_aur.

It was my system: Problem 1: I had changed this php73 PKGBUILD to 'provide 'php'' and forgot about it that it was still installed. Problem 2: /usr/bin/php was a symlink to /usr/bin/php73, hence installation failed.

In short, after undoing/fixing the above I was successful in installing this PKGBUILD - unchanged - just fine. composer has pulled in php8.1.2, which is fine.

All working for me. Thanks again for your time and effort in getting to the bottom of this.
