Hi,

I thought PHP is very common now days, but I found so difficult to
install it in debian. The apt-get install can't find any php, pecl,
php-xml packages.

So, I have to downloaded php5_5.2.0-8+etch10_all.deb,
php5-common_5.2.0-8+etch10_i386.deb and
php5-cgi_5.2.0-8+etch10_i386.deb manually and installed them by dkpg.
It installed php5-cgi, but on php binary in /usr/bin.

People helped me to find dh-make-php - Creates Debian source packages
for PHP PEAR and PECL extensions. Is it a right package for PHP5
extension?

How can I install all php extensions by using apt-get?

Thank you.

Jim

Don't know about pecl, but there are lots of php related packages:

bob@trantor:~$ aptitude search php | wc -l
250

including these specifically xml related:

bob@trantor:~$ aptitude search php | grep xml
p php-xml-htmlsax3 - SAX parser for HTML and other badly formed
p php-xml-parser - PHP PEAR module for parsing XML
p php-xml-rss - RSS parser
p php-xml-serializer - swiss-army knife for reading and writing X
p php-xml-util - a XML utility for php-pear
p php4-domxml - XMLv2 module for php4
p php5-xmlrpc - XML-RPC module for php5
p phpgroupware-xmlrpc - phpGroupWare XMLRPC module

An apt-cache search would produce the same results presumably.

The package names all include the version of PHP. You can't "apt-get
install php", true, but you *can* "apt-get install php5" or "apt-get
install php4".

As others have mentioned, you may also want to try "apt-cache search",
although, admittedly, the sheer bulk of packages mentioning php
("apt-cache search php" returns 408 results) could make this a more
time-consuming route than would be ideal.

You have to know what specific package you need. PHP is supplied as
package name "php4" or "php5".

# apt-get install php5

Would do the job.

Search for the packages you need:

# apt-cache search php | less

I've already installed php5. But could not find pecl.

Yes, I did search pecl but confused by following results:

$ apt-cache search pecl
dh-make-php - Creates Debian source packages for PHP PEAR and PECL extensions
php-pear - PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository
php4-imagick - ImageMagick module for php4
php5-imagick - ImageMagick module for php5

And it was my question whether the dh-make-php is the right package
for PHP PECL package?

Thank you.

Jim
