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.

Your latest patch for enchant2 support is missing a crucial part. Loading the extension results in the following: Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php56/modules/enchant.so' - /usr/lib/php56/modules/enchant.so: undefined symbol: enchant_dict_is_in_session in Unknown on line 0

You also need to patch the extension code itself to use the new API. Something like: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/enchant-2.patch?h=packages/php

I've been working on porting this to my php55 package which I've been basically copying from yours ;)

Hey, sorry for the delay.

The patch for enchant-2 has been added and it now builds properly again. Thanks to all who have helped in fixing this.

If you have problems with the enchant just install "enchant-pure" with aur :)

Nice work @Schmeidenbacher, patch works fine.

For the others, just save it locally and add this in PKGBUILD's prepare():

patch -p0 -l -i ${srcdir}/../php56-configure.patch

Like this:

prepare() {
        cd ${srcdir}/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}

        patch -p0 -i ${srcdir}/php.ini.patch
        patch -p0 -i ${srcdir}/php-fpm.conf.in.patch
        patch -p0 -l -i ${srcdir}/../php56-configure.patch
        # Just because our Apache 2.4 is configured with a threaded MPM by default does not mean we want to build a ZTS PHP.
        # Let's supress this behaviour and build a SAPI that works fine with the prefork MPM.
        sed '/APACHE_THREADED_MPM=/d' -i sapi/apache2handler/config.m4 -i configure

        # Allow php-tidy to compile with tidy-html5
        sed 's/buffio\.h/tidybuffio\.h/' -i ext/tidy/tidy.c
}

My previous (and now deleted) comment was not quite complete.

A test build revealed a flaw in the patch. This version builds with the newest enchant version: https://gist.github.com/jschuck/5d237974e5856a221ccb347c9ccf8711

Fell free to use it in this package.

Why does php56 not build with enchant version 2.2.1-1 installed? All prior versions of php56 had had no problems with the package. Yes, I can grab enchant-pure from AUR and build, but I shouldn't have to uninstall a standard package just to get php56 to build. Has the problem been identified? I'll patch with enchant-pure this go-round, but will need to reinstall the Arch package.

tjbp commented on 2018-02-01 23:55 (UTC)

The package enchant-pure contains the necessary symlinks for this to compile again. If the enchant maintainer isn't interested in adding the symlinks it might be worth switching the dependency accordingly.
