Need to add -DU_DEFINE_FALSE_AND_TRUE=1 to CPPFLAGS in PKGBUILD to compile.
CPPFLAGS+=' -DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1 -DU_DEFINE_FALSE_AND_TRUE=1'
Also when using php56-fpm, comment out or change the open_basedir= in php.ini, otherwise keep getting 404 for no reason.
PHP 5.6 will stop working with MariaDB 10.5.7 due to a bug in the php-mysqlnd extension and stricter checking on the MariaDB side. This stricter checking was first introduced in MariaDB 10.2/3 https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-24121 and reverted for a later major version (it broke a portion of the internet).
PHP 7.3 has this fixed, basically a byte is sent to the connected database server to say expect some parameters when preparing this query, then for a query without parameters e.g "SELECT * FROM groups" none are sent causing the stricter checking to throw the following error:
Error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1835 Malformed communication packet
To fix i would suggest a PKGBUILD patch to the mysqlnd extension code:
https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod/blob/123.09beta01/patches/php/php5640-mysqlnd-fix.patch

Fully understand nobody should be on PHP 5.6 but if you are and need to keep using it alongside nice up-to-date versions of everything else this should help.
I'm running into the exact same error as danny below.

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

Read Carefully! Breaking changes in compare with native PHP package
Console version /usr/bin/php56 is installed with php56-cli subpackage, php56 doesn't include it anymore!!!
PEAR and PECL are available as php56-pear and php56-pecl subpackages
All shared modules are respresented as stand-alone subpackages and are not included with php56 package anymore.
No more extensions in php.ini itself!
Separate INI files for each extension are placed in /etc/php56/conf.d
They are loaded in correct order according to priority

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 :
