Created binary repository on build.opensuse.org

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:el:archphp

For Arch Linux, edit /etc/pacman.conf and add the following (note that the order of repositories in pacman.conf is important, since pacman always downloads the first found package):

[home_el_archphp_Arch]
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/el:/archphp/Arch/$arch

Then run the following as root

key=$(curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:el:archphp/Arch/$(uname -m)/home_el_archphp_Arch.key)
fingerprint=$(gpg --quiet --with-colons --import-options show-only --import --fingerprint <<< "${key}" | awk -F: '$1 == "fpr" { print $10 }')
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --add - <<< "${key}"
pacman-key --lsign-key "${fingerprint}"

Refresh packages database

pacman -Syy

Now search for php packages you need:

pacman -Ss php56

Install with pacman -S packages you need or all PHP 5.6 packages with:

sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq | grep '^php56')

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.

@Kaffka: the dependency on Apache is only required for php-apache and for building the packages (since this is a split package all php-* packages are built regardless of which you intend to install).

Kaffka commented on 2017-05-18 10:03 (UTC)

Curious thought: Why does this even have a dependency to apache2? I can (and do) use php-fpm with nginx just as well?

jc-aur commented on 2017-05-15 23:15 (UTC)

@mickael9 I see, no I just tried commenting the lines back again and didn't work. I do have mod_dir enabled via LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so in line 178, using apache version 2.24.25 atm. If I uncomment the lines it works, if I comment them it stops working, so the module and extensions are properly configured, or sort of?

mickael9 commented on 2017-05-15 22:12 (UTC)

@jc-aur: Works for me The SetHandler directive is in conf/extra/php56_module.conf which you're supposed to include. It seems to need mod_dir to be enabled too, maybe that isn't your case?

jc-aur commented on 2017-05-15 22:02 (UTC) (edited on 2017-05-15 23:11 (UTC) by jc-aur)

After installing latest version, and adding the two configuration lines on httpd.conf file php is not working, it only shows '<?php phpinfo(); ?> on the screen. In comparison with php 7 it lacks a line for the handler, am I missing something? EDIT: fixed after adding theses lines, which are not present anymore in the default httpd.conf file for apache, @mickael9 please consider adding these (or a better version if available to solve the issue) to the sticky comment about configuration of httpd.conf file AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

@spicey: I forced the imap module to link with openssl 1.1. This should fix the crash.

@spicey: somehow c-client uses libssl but is not linked to it (ldd /usr/lib/libc-client.so). I tried changing the imap (c-client) PKGBUILD to force -lssl -lcrypto and it seems to fix the problem. I'll investigate if I can do this in php56 instead Edit: I reported the bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53996

spicey commented on 2017-05-09 20:46 (UTC)

This thing segfaults when using php56-imap stuff with ssl, it probably has to do with c-client/imap packages being somehow linked with openssl 1.1. though it is not obvious to me how or where, see both libssl.so.1.1 and libssl.so.1.0 packages used, % php56 -r 'imap_open("{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}", "", "");' zsh: segmentation fault Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff2b77be0 in ??

I'm getting an error when installing php56 (as of the -3 PKGREL, it worked at -2): http://codepad.org/AvD4puT9 -Michael.

mickael9 commented on 2017-05-04 15:29 (UTC)

@ejona86: Right, I didn't realize the openssl dependency is normally pulled with curl. It's fixed now.
