Read Carefully! Breaking changes in compare with native PHP package

1. Console version is installed with php53-cli subpackage, php53 doesn't include it anymore!!!

2. PEAR and PECL are available as php53-pear and php53-pecl subpackages

3. All shared modules are respresented as stand-alone subpackages and are not included with php53 package anymore.

4. No more extensions in php.ini itself!

Separate INI files for each extension are placed in /etc/php53/conf.d

They are loaded in correct order according to priority

@malina - already tried 5.2, too ancient stuff even if compare with 5.3 :) too much time to waste for such dinosaur

@el_aur I saw your work (phpbs) and tried it. You could work a lot with that, congratulations, nice work. And the source code is nice too. And it works. I couldn't compile php 5.3 with imap 2 months ago, I had to compile it separately. And yours works. So thank you very much.

Would php 5.2 be a big challenge?

Hi guys. Wanna adopt this package. Have made universal builds for all PHP versions 5.3-8.1. Maintaining already php55, php72, php73, php74, php81 in AUR

Have ported cve patches and Debian patches, can share here if you make me comaintainer :)

@malina Have made my own package for php53

Was playing with older ICU versions and found not all are compiling well icu64 is fine on modern system. Have made PKGBUILD for it too

Hi,

the problem is that the unicode include directory is not taken well by php.

Nor is it a problem, but the current icu library (now 67.1) is not suitable for the php 5.3 intl extension, obviously the current icu library functions have a different set of parameters than in older versions.

There is only one solution: you need to install an earlier version of icu separately, which is at least 48.1 (icu 4.8.1.1) - I use at least that.I compiled specifically with the rpath option and only for php.

That's not enough: in the php53 build section, you need to set ICU_CONFIG env, and for LDFLAGS add the lib directory of the old version icu with the -L option, and set the --with-icu-dir = option with install dir of the old version icu.

I tried building PHP 5.3 and makepkg -si is failing with this message:
