i've installed moodle from github. I'm using php5, then i can't install it.
So, i'm upgrade my php to php7.1, but still error. The error message like this : Moodle 3.4 or later requires at least PHP 7.0.0 (currently using version 5.6.26-1). Some servers may have multiple PHP versions installed, are you using the correct executable?
My php version : PHP 7.1.6-2 (cli) (built: Jun 14 2017 05:31:31) ( NTS )
Can anyone help me?
Your php7 version looks to be the php-cli version and is not the one used by your http server (apache or other) : display a phpinfo(); in your browser.
It looks like you are using debian, first remove php5 : apt-get remove php5* libapache2-mod-php5 and install the 7 version, something like :
apt-get install apache2 php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-zip php7.0-intl php7.0-common php7.0-curl php7.0-imagick php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-ldap php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-memcache php7.0-memcached php7.0-mysql php7.0-pgsql php7.0-readline php7.0-bcmath php7.0-mbstring php7.0-xml
Moodle has no concern with this.
I had the same problem. After upgrading xampp, my problem has solved.

I have been meaning to install ffmpeg as an extension to my PHP setup. So before I can install it, I need to phpize it. I installed php5-dev by sudo apt-get install php5-dev. But now when I run phpize I get the following error :
phpize
Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module
The location of my php.ini is /usr/local/zend/etc/php.ini
From another online resource I tried this
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool m4
But all of them are already installed.
Locate config.m4 didn't return anything.
Any pointers here how I can get phpize and thus, ffmpeg up and running?
For recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu (Debian 9+ or Ubuntu 16.04+) install the php-dev dependency package, which will automatically install the correct version of php{x}-dev for your distribution:
sudo apt install php-dev
Older versions of Debian/Ubuntu:
For PHP 5, it's in the php5-dev package.
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
For PHP 7.x (from rahilwazir comment):
sudo apt-get install php7.x-dev
RHEL/CentOS/yum
yum install php-devel # see comments
For PHP7 Users
7.1
sudo apt install php7.1-dev
7.2
sudo apt install php7.2-dev
7.3
sudo apt install php7.3-dev
7.4
sudo apt install php7.4-dev
If not sure about your PHP version, simply run command php -v
Ohk.. I got it running by typing /usr/bin/phpize instead of only phpize.
Under Redhat Enterprise / CentOS, use yum to install the php-devel module:
yum install php-devel
For PHP 7, you need:
yum install php70-php-devel
Step - 1: If you are unsure about the php version installed,
then first run the following command in terminal
php -v
Output: the above command will output the php version installed on your machine, mine is 7.2
PHP 7.2.3-1ubuntu1 (cli) (built: Mar 14 2018 22:03:58) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.2.3-1ubuntu1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies
Step 2: Then to install phpize run the following command, Since my php version is 7.2.3. i will replace it with 7.2, so the command will be,
sudo apt-get install php7.2-dev
Step 3: Done!
Alternate method(Optional):
To automatically install the phpize version based on the php version installed on your machine run the following command.
sudo apt-get install php-dev
This command will automatically detect the appropriate version of php installed and will install the matching phpize for the same.
Hmm... actually i dont know how this solved it? But the following steps solved it for me:
find / -name 'config.m4'
Now look if the config.m4 is anywhere in a folder of that stuff you want to phpize. Go to that folder and run phpize directly in there.
For ubuntu 14.04LTS with php 7, issue:
sudo apt-get install php-dev
Then install:
pecl install memcache
In Ubuntu 16.04, you can install phpize with the command
aptitude install php7.1-dev // for php 7.1
which is equivalent to
apt-get install php7.1-dev // for php 7.1
If you're having problems with phpize not found on CentOS7.x after you have installed the relevant devel tools for your version/s of PHP, this path finally worked for me:
For PHP 7.2.x
/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/phpize
For PHP 7.3.x
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/phpize
For PHP 7.4.x
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/phpize
Run this in your folder containing the downloaded PHP extension, for example in line 3 below:
Example based on installing the PHP v7.3.x Brotli Extension from https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli
git clone --recursive --depth=1 https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli.git
cd /php-ext-brotli
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/php-config
make
make test
Install from linux terminal
sudo apt-get install <php_version>-dev
Example :
sudo apt-get install php5-dev #For `php` version 5
sudo apt-get install php7.0-dev #For `php` version 7.0
Of course in PHP7.2
sudo apt-get install php7.2-dev
This might help someone on ubuntu. No promises.
sudo apt-get install libcurl3 php5-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libmagic-dev
sudo apt-get install php-http make
sudo pecl install pecl_http
And adding "extension=http.so" to php.ini (Normally located at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini)
Then restart Apache (sudo service apache2 restart).
If in doubt, check your apache logs:
sudo su --
cd /var/log/apache2
tail -25 error.log
Is http.so starting or failing?
For instance, if you wanted to use the "phpize" command for PHP 5.6, you would use the full path:
Code:
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/phpize
For ubuntu with Plesk installed run apt-get install plesk-php56-dev, for other versions just change XX in phpXX (without the dot)
Go to the downloaded folder and there you find config.m4. Open the terminal and run phpsize.
I had this exact problem on macOS in 2018.
For me, first running brew install php before sudo pecl install mongodb did the trick.
You didn't specify what operating system you're using, and 90% of the answers assume Ubuntu/Debian Linux because of the apt-get install autoconf automake libtool m4 command that you posted (and over half expect you to be running CPanel), so I'm giving you a slightly more generic solution which ought to work on any Un*x clone (including Microsoft's WSL!).
You will need at least a few prerequisites:
A working C/C++ compiler — GCC or clang being the most popular options these days.
A 'developer edition' of PHP, which some package managers call 'development headers'. In the case of aptitude, as shown on the other answers, you ought to be fine with just sudo apt install php-dev. Beware of the mentioned caveats: you might end up with a slightly more unstable version of PHP which might not be updated correctly with future versions.
These days (that's late 2021 for me!), for those running Ubuntu, and wishing to seriously tinker with PHP, the recommendation is to use Ondřej Surý's personal package archive for PHP. Ondřej keeps his PPA always up to date, sometimes within a few hours after release; he keeps up with the latest four Ubuntu distributions and all the currently supported PHP versions that haven't reached end-of-life status yet (sorry, PHP5 is considered completely obsolete and plagued with unpatched bugs and security issues, so it's not supported — for very good reasons!); and he provides a lot of PHP extensions, too. Sadly, ffmpeg-php is not one of them...
There is a good reason for the overall lack of support of ffmpeg-php. Allegedly, the original repository for that was hosted at Sourceforge but has been abandoned in 2007. The recommended package these days is PHP-FFMpeg which is constantly being updated, and ought to be easily installed using composer — get it before starting your compilation!
Alternatively, instead of relying on an external non-official PHP extension (albeit one that is both popular and updated regularly!), you ought to launch the ffmpeg binary using shell_exec(). This is the officially recommended approach, mostly because converting videos always takes a long time, and the authors of that recommendation suggest a simple architecture where the PHP script basically launches ffmpeg in the background, accepting batches of videos for processing. The page is a bit old, but the technique shown is sound.
I am using XAMPP on Linux mint and it is by default installed if your don't have

After I installed phpmyadmin, and run it with localhost/phpmyadmin I get error:
phpMyAdmin - Error The mbstring extension is missing. Please check
your PHP configuration
When I check php -m console displays that mbstring is already installed.
PHP version: 7.2.4
Installed phpmyadmin via apt-get install phpmyadmin
In directory /etc/php I got 3 subfolders - 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
You need to install w.r.t your PHP version.
sudo apt-get install php7.1-mbstring
Or you may specific php version in command
Had the same problem and worked for me after checking PHP version
php -v
which gave me :
PHP 7.2.13-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Dec 7 2018 08:07:36) ( NTS )
so I did
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mbstring
Thanks
I recently switched to PHP 7 on my development server, which has worked just fine - until now.
Since I updated to PHP 7.0.3-10+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (earlier today), the utf8_decode and utf8_encode functions are no longer accessible. They were, however, in previous versions of PHP7. When called, a fatal error is raised.
I read that these functions are provided by the mbstring extension, which I checked with var_dump(extension_loaded('mbstring')); is loaded.
How can I get the above functions to work again?
I had the same problem. Just install php7.0-xml package. Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml
Edit: Restart apache2 to load the new package.
On Ubuntu, you got the following message during the upgrade of PHP7:
php7.0 (7.0.3-6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Several extensions have been split into separate extension packages:
- php-dba - Database (dbm-style) Abstraction Layer
- php-mbstring - Multibyte String
- php-soap - SOAP
- php-xml - DOM, SimpleXML, WDDX, XML, XMLReader and XMLWriter
- php-zip - Zip
* The new packages are not installed automatically, so you will need to
install them by hand, if you use the functions in those modules.
* Most modules that have been builtin before are now included in
php7.0-common package and they are enabled by default for your
convenience. You can disable unneede modules via phpdismod tool.
-- Ondřej Surý <ondrej#debian.org> Mon, 22 Feb 2016 12:37:09 +0100
so it's one of those packages that's causing the problem. In this case, it's php-xml.
Note the
The new packages are not installed automatically
You can fix that by
sudo apt-get install php-xml
sudo apache2ctl graceful
If you are on CentOS, following command should work:
yum install php-xml
As the top voted answer did not work for me i found yet another package for php7 which (obvious by its name) fixed it for me
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring
In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, with php 5.6, try:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-xml
sudo service apache2 restart
The utf8_decode and utf8_encode functions are accessible in php 7:
function.utf8-encode - manual - php
This is because the php-xml package is missing in your php installation.
If your server is running Mandrake, enter "urpmi php-xml".
If your server is running EASYPHP on Windows, click on the EASYPHP logo to activate the php-xml module.
On debian or ubuntu try :
apt-get install php7.0-xmlrpc
I encountered the same problem and for me,
sudo apt-get install php-patchwork-utf8
and restarting the apache2 server solved the problem (on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
I'm trying to update my PHP (currently v:5.3.3 to the latest stable PHP build) but it's not playing ball and it's saying there is nothing to update.
Any help would be useful.
Keeps saying:
No Packages marked for Update
As Jacob mentioned, the CentOS packages repo appears to only have PHP 5.3 available at the moment. But these commands seemed to work for me...
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm
yum remove php-common # Need to remove this, otherwise it conflicts
yum install php56w
yum install php56w-mysql
yum install php56w-common
yum install php56w-pdo
yum install php56w-opcache
php --version # Verify version has been upgraded
You can alternatively use php54w or php55w if required.
CAUTION!
This may potentially break your website if it doesn't fully resolve all your dependencies, so you may need a couple of extra packages in some cases. See here for a list of other PHP 5.6 modules that are available.
If you encounter a problem and need to reset back to the default, you can use these commands:
sudo yum remove php56w
sudo yum remove php56w-common
sudo yum install php-common
sudo yum install php-mysql
sudo yum install php
(Thanks Fabrizio Bartolomucci)
For CentOS 6, PHP 5.3.3 is the latest version of PHP available through the official CentOS package repository. Keep in mind, even though PHP 5.3.3 was released July 22, 2010, the official CentOS 6 PHP package was updated November 24, 2013. Why? Critical bug fixes are backported. See this question for more information: "Why are outdated packages installed by yum on CentOS? (specifically PHP 5.1) How to fix?"
If you'd like to use a more recent version of PHP, Les RPM de Remi offers CentOS PHP packages via a repository that you can add to the yum package manager. To add it as a yum repository, follow the site's instructions.
Note: Questions of this variety are probably better suited for Server Fault.
I managed to install php54w according to Simon's suggestion, but then my sites stopped working perhaps because of an incompatibility with php-mysql or some other module. Even frantically restoring the old situation was not amusing: for anyone in my own situation the sequence is:
sudo yum remove php54w
sudo yum remove php54w-common
sudo yum install php-common
sudo yum install php-mysql
sudo yum install php
It would be nice if someone submitted the full procedure to update all the php packet. That was my production server and my heart is still rapidly beating.
This is the easiest way that worked for me: To install PHP 5.6 on CentOS 6 or 7:
CentOS 6. Enter the following commands in the order shown:
yum -y update
yum -y install epel-release
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
wget https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm
yum -y update
yum -y install php56u php56u-opcache php56u-xml php56u-mcrypt php56u-gd php56u-devel php56u-mysql php56u-intl php56u-mbstring php56u-bcmath
CentOS 7. Enter the following commands in the order shown:
yum -y update
yum -y install epel-release
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
wget https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm
yum -y update
yum -y install php56u php56u-opcache php56u-xml php56u-mcrypt php56u-gd php56u-devel php56u-mysql php56u-intl php56u-mbstring php56u-bcmath

Verify current version of PHP
Type in the following to see the current PHP version:
php -v
Should output something like:
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul 9 2015 17:39:00)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
Install the Remi and EPEL RPM repositories
If you haven’t already done so, install the Remi and EPEL repositories
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm && rpm -Uvh epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm && rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm
Enable the REMI repository globally:
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
Under the section that looks like [remi] make the following changes:
[remi]
name=Remi's RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/6/remi/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/6/remi/mirror
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
Also, under the section that looks like [remi-php55] make the following changes:
[remi-php56]
name=Remi's PHP 5.6 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/6/php56/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/6/php56/mirror
# WARNING: If you enable this repository, you must also enable "remi"
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
Type CTRL-O to save and CTRL-X to close the editor
Upgrade PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.6
Now we can upgrade PHP. Simply type in the following command:
yum -y upgrade php*
Once the update has completed, let’s verify that you have PHP 5.6 installed:
php -v
Should see output similar to the following:
PHP 5.6.14 (cli) (built: Sep 30 2015 14:07:43)
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
Steps for upgrading to PHP7 on CentOS 6 system. Taken from install-php-7-in-centos-6
To install latest PHP 7, you need to add EPEL and Remi repository to your CentOS 6 system
yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
Now install yum-utils, a group of useful tools that enhance yum’s default package management features
yum install yum-utils
In this step, you need to enable Remi repository using yum-config-manager utility, as the default repository for installing PHP.
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php70
If you want to install PHP 7.1 or PHP 7.2 on CentOS 6, just enable it as shown.
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php71
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
Then finally install PHP 7 on CentOS 6 with all necessary PHP modules using the following command.
yum install php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo
Double check the installed version of PHP on your system as follows.
php -V
IUS offers an installation script for subscribing to their repository and importing associated GPG keys. Make sure you’re in your home directory, and retrieve the script using curl:
curl 'https://setup.ius.io/' -o setup-ius.sh
sudo bash setup-ius.sh
Install Required Packages-:
sudo yum install -y mod_php70u php70u-cli php70u-mysqlnd php70u-json php70u-gd php70u-dom php70u-simplexml php70u-mcrypt php70u-intl
During Ubuntu server setup, I got to the point where I need to enable php as apache2 module. I tried running sudo a2enmod php5, but it returned ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!
After a bit of searching, I stumbled upon this tip by gerard :
If sudo a2enmod php5 returns "$ This module does not exist!", you should purge (not just remove) the libapache2-mod-php5 package and reinstall it.
Be sure to clear your browser's cache before testing your site again."
Running sudo apt-get --purge remove libapache2-mod-php5 however, returned Package libapache2-mod-php5 is not installed, so not removed . Naturally, I tried to install it with sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5, but then I get :
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.6 is to be installed
Recommends: php5-cli but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tried to update && upgrade in hopes libxml2 would get updated, but didn't happen. I also tried installing php5-cli, but got :
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
php5-cli : Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.6 is to be installed
Depends: libedit2 (>= 2.11-20080614-4) but 2.11-20080614-3ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
At this point I am lost. Running php -v, indicates that php is running, however:
PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Aug 7 2013 11:40:38)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
You can't install PHP 5.4.17 under Ubuntu 12.04, because the required libxml2 library >= v2.8.0 is only available in Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal quetzal) or higher.
Solution: Get a newer version of Ubuntu.
oh no! You must use
aptitude -y install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-gd
to install php5 with apache.
libapache2-mod-php5 is a module of apache, but you have to install php5 to compile php code
