[![Test recent](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/workflows/Test%20recent/badge.svg)](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Test+recent%22) # Easy installation of PHP extensions in official PHP Docker images This repository contains a script that can be used to easily install a PHP extension inside the [official PHP Docker images](https://hub.docker.com/_/php/). The script will install all the required APT/APK packages; at the end of the script execution, the no-more needed packages will be removed so that the image will be much smaller. Supported docker images are all the Alpine/Debian versions, except for PHP 5.5 where we only support Debian 8 (jessie) (that is, `php:5.5`, `php:5.5-apache`, `php:5.5-cli`, `php:5.5-fpm`, `php:5.5-zts`). See also the notes in the [Special requirements](#special-requirements) section. ## Usage You have two ways to use this script within your `Dockerfile`s: you can download the script on the fly, or you can grab it from the [`mlocati/php-extension-installer` Docker Hub image](https://hub.docker.com/r/mlocati/php-extension-installer). With the first method you are sure you'll always get the very latest version of the script, with the second method the process is faster since you'll use a local image. For example, here are two `Dockerfile`s that install the GD and xdebug PHP extensions: ### Downloading the script on the fly ```Dockerfile FROM php:7.2-cli ADD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/master/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/ RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions && sync && \ install-php-extensions gd xdebug ``` ### Copying the script from a Docker image ```Dockerfile FROM php:7.2-cli COPY --from=mlocati/php-extension-installer /usr/bin/install-php-extensions /usr/bin/ RUN install-php-extensions gd xdebug ``` ### Installing a specific version of an extension Simply append `-` to the module name. For example: ```sh install-php-extensions xdebug-2.9.7 ``` ## Supported PHP extensions | Extension | PHP 5.5 | PHP 5.6 | PHP 7.0 | PHP 7.1 | PHP 7.2 | PHP 7.3 | PHP 7.4 | PHP 8.0 | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | amqp | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | apcu | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | apcu_bc | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | bcmath | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | bz2 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | calendar | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | cmark | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | dba | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | decimal | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | enchant[*](#special-requirements-for-enchant) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | exif | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | ffi | | | | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | gd | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | gettext | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | gmagick | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | gmp | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | grpc | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | http | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | igbinary | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | imagick | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | imap | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | interbase | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | | intl | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | ldap | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | mailparse | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | mcrypt | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | memcache | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | memcached | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | mongo | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | | | mongodb | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | mosquitto | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | msgpack | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | mssql | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | | | mysql | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | | | mysqli | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | oauth | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | odbc | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | opcache | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | opencensus | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | parallel[*](#special-requirements-for-parallel) | | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | pcntl | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pcov | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pdo_dblib | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pdo_firebird | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pdo_mysql | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pdo_odbc | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pdo_pgsql | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pdo_sqlsrv | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | pgsql | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | propro | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | protobuf | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pspell | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | pthreads[*](#special-requirements-for-pthreads) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | | raphf | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | rdkafka | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | recode | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | | redis | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | shmop | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | snmp | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | snuffleupagus | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | soap | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | sockets | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | solr | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | sqlsrv | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | ssh2 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | sybase_ct | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | | | sysvmsg | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | sysvsem | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | sysvshm | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | tdlib[*](#special-requirements-for-tdlib) | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | tidy | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | timezonedb | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | uopz | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | uuid | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | wddx | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | | xdebug | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | xhprof | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | xmlrpc | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | xsl | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | yaml | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | zip | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | zookeeper | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | *Number of supported extensions: 82* PS: the pre-installed PHP extensions are excluded from this list.

Furthermore, we also check that new versions of extensions in the PECL repository will still work. This is done on a scheduled basis with another [GitHub Action](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/blob/master/.github/workflows/test-recent-extensions.yml). In case of failure, a message is sent to a [Telegram Channel](https://t.me/docker_php_extension_installer). Feel free to subscribe to it to receive failure notifications. ## How to contribute ### Formatting code Before submitting any pull request, be sure to execute the `lint` script in the `scripts` directory (or `lint.bat` on Windows). ### Adding support to a new PHP extension? 1. change the `install-php-extensions` script 2. update the `data/supported-extensions` file, adding a new line with the handle of the extension and the list of supported PHP versions 3. if the extension requires ZTS images: add a new line to the `data/special-requirements` file, with the extension handle followed by a space and `zts` See [this pull request](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/60) for an example. ### Changing the supported PHP versions for an already supported PHP extension? 1. change the `install-php-extensions` script 2. update the `data/supported-extensions` file, adding the new PHP version to the existing line corresponding to the updated extension See [this pull request](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/62) for an example. ### Improving code for an already supported extension? If you change some code that affects one or more extensions, please add a line with `Test: extension1, extension2` to the message of one of the pull request commits. That way, the test jobs will check the extension even if you don't touch the `data/supported-extensions` file. Here's an example of a commit message: ``` Improve the GD and ZIP extensions Test: gd, zip ``` Tests only check the installation of a single PHP extension at a time. If you want to test installing more PHP extensions at the same time, use a commit message like this: ``` Improve the GD and ZIP extensions Test: gd+zip ``` If your pull request contains multiple commits, we'll check the "Test:" message of every commit. If you want to stop parsing next commits, add `-STOP-` in the "Test:" line, for example: ``` Improve the GD and ZIP extensions Test: gd, zip, -STOP- ``` See [this pull request](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/43) for an example. ## Do you want to really say thank you?
