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.

Pear seems to be failing to install properly. It says 'mv: cannot stat [pkgdir]/usr/bin/pear'

Updated to 5.6.36:

The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.6.36. 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.

In order to build the apache mod_php module this dependency is needed.

Please do the build process ALWAYS in a clean chroot env, that way additional makedeps won't clutter your system and you are left with a properly built package that can be shared without side-effect.

Please read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot

Hi! Why depend on Apache?

Updated to 5.6.35:

The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.6.35. This is a security release. One security bug was fixed in this release. All PHP 5.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

@postadelmaga: I have updated the PKGBUILD and it includes a fix for the recent icu update.

After upgrading Arch today I could not start apache anymore:

Cannot load modules/libphp56.so into server: libicui18n.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I tried to recompile this package but I got a bunch of errors, such as:

In file included from /tmp/yaourt-tmp-fra/aur-php56/src/php-5.6.34/ext/intl/intl_convertcpp.cpp:21:0:
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-fra/aur-php56/src/php-5.6.34/ext/intl/intl_convertcpp.h:28:25: error: ‘UnicodeString’ was not declared in this scope
int intl_stringFromChar(UnicodeString &ret, char *str, int32_t str_len, UErrorCode *status);

Update - Workaround for the missing libicui18n.so.60 library:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.61.1 /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.60
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.61.1 /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.60 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libicudata.so.61.1 /usr/lib/libicudata.so.60

@Case_Of: Arch Linux relies heavily on systemd and thus I'm not going to remove the dependency. If you need it for your own use you are free to modify the PKGBUILD locally and then build it.

Build failed. http://ix.io/ReW Please, remove systemd dependency.

thanks for that hint, fixed.
