PHP 5.6 will stop getting security updates in January 2019. Consider upgrading to PHP 7 now

PLEASE READ : For those who are getting "unknown public key" errors, this is NOT caused by this package. It means GPG is not configured to fetch public keys automatically (which is normal by default)

Please read the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking

The easiest way to overcome this is to manually import the keys from a keyserver :

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys C2BF0BC433CFC8B3 FE857D9A90D90EC1

foxxx and I have been working together and this package can now be installed along PHP 7 from the official repos.

Everything has been moved into separate directories :

Config : /etc/php56
Extensions : /usr/lib/php56/modules
Binaries : /usr/bin/php56, /usr/bin/php56-cgi, /usr/bin/phar56, etc.

If you were previously using this as a replacement for php7, you'll have to adjust the new configuration files in /etc/php56/ to reflect the current ones in /etc/php/.

Apache module (provided by php56-apache) also has a specific configuration and CAN NOT cohabit with php7_module. Use php-fpm, fcgi or cgi if you need both versions.

The apache module is installed as libphp56.so, so you should use the following lines your httpd.conf :

# Load php 5.6 module
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp56.so

# Use it for .php extensions
Include conf/extra/php56_module.conf

Please let me know if you encounter any problem or have a suggestion.

I'm running into the exact same error as danny below.

@mickael9 does not support freetype?

updated to 5.6.40:

The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.6.40. This is a security release. Several security bugs have been fixed in this release. All PHP 5.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Please note that according to the PHP version support timelines, PHP 5.6.40 is the last scheduled release of PHP 5.6 branch. There may be additional release if we discover important security issues that warrant it, otherwise this release will be the final one in the PHP 5.6 branch. If your PHP installation is based on PHP 5.6, it may be a good time to start making the plans for the upgrade to PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2 or PHP 7.3.

updated to 5.6.39:

The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.6.39. This is a security release. Several security bugs have been fixed in this release. All PHP 5.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

This will be the last update for PHP 5.6, thus any potentially existing security vulnerabilities will not be fixed in the future.

Consider upgrading to PHP 7 now.

We will work on moving to 7, but currently 5.6 is still critical as there are still some groupware and server packages that have not been fully ported to 7. Thanks for keeping php56 updated.

PHP 5.6 will stop getting security updates in January 2019. Consider upgrading to PHP 7 now

@jboadas your gpg output indicates it only processed one key, I suggest you check that you copied the command correctly with the two arguments or you can just import the missing key

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys FE857D9A90D90EC1

With that said, I suggest you upgrade to PHP 7 because PHP 5.6 security updates will stop in 2 months.

The easiest way to overcome this is to manually import the keys from a keyserver : $ gpg --keyserver hkp://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys C2BF0BC433CFC8B3 FE857D9A90D90EC1

This is not working, I get this error gpg --keyserver hkp://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys C2BF0BC433CFC8B3 FE857D9A90D90EC1 gpg: key C2BF0BC433CFC8B3: 3 signatures not checked due to missing keys gpg: key C2BF0BC433CFC8B3: "Ferenc Kovacs tyrael@php.net" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1

And the package fails to install with this message:

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... php-5.6.38.tar.xz ... FAILED (unknown public key C2BF0BC433CFC8B3) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build php56.
