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

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.

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... php-5.6.19.tar.xz ... FAILED (unknown public key C2BF0BC433CFC8B3) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

Ok, sorry, it was caused by yaourt 1.7 and fixed in 1.8 :-/

Hello, I can't install this package because I have the following error message: makepkg: invalid option '--pkg'

@PhilippeK : There's a php56-imagick package here in the AUR. Have you tried it?

PhilippeK commented on 2016-03-01 05:47 (UTC)

@mickael8: Thanks for the help, it is indeed in, and the reason for it not being enabled is that I had updated the php.ini in /etc/php, not /etc/php56. So phpmyadmin is working properly now, the only it that is not working is a small part where I use imagick. Any suggestion about this one ? Thanks in advance...

mickael9 commented on 2016-02-29 21:57 (UTC)

@PhilippeK : It's definitely in. $ pacman -Ql php56 | grep mysqli php56 /usr/include/php56/ext/mysqli/ php56 /usr/include/php56/ext/mysqli/mysqli_mysqlnd.h php56 /usr/include/php56/ext/mysqli/php_mysqli_structs.h php56 /usr/lib/php56/modules/mysqli.so Have you enabled it in /etc/php56/php.ini ?

PhilippeK commented on 2016-02-29 21:40 (UTC)

@mikael9 : I'm sorry but I don't believe that mysqli is part of the package. It's not in the list of the modules/packages above, and phpmyadmin complain about the absence of it (and does not work at all). Maybe I've made a mistake somewhere... Otherwise it's a great package and a great initiative, very easy to build (although it takes a while) and install as long as you use "sudo pacman -U php56*" in the build directory and fololow the included instructions to update httpd.conf. Now, if only mysqli could actually be in it... :) Thanks in advance!

Also got 'duplicate target' errors. Had to run pacman -U php56* in build directory. In other words, had to install built packages manually.
