I have Joomla 3.3.3 in a server where PHP 5.3.29 is installed.
I requested the hosting team (Hostgator) to install PHP 5.5.28 side by side.
When they told me the task was finished, I added these lines to the top of .htaccess file:
# PHP 5.5
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 .php
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /opt/php55/lib
</IfModule>
After that, I tried to load the page and this error was shown, in both front end an in administration pages:
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.
If I remove the added lines in .htaccess, site works again.
What may be hapenning here?
It may be that they haven't installed the mysql extension, you can compare the versions of php using a simple phpinfo script:
<?php
phpinfo();
Run this in your browser using both PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.5 and scroll down the the 'mysql/mysqli/mysqlnd' section which will tell you whether it's been installed with the mysql extension or not, if it hasn't been contact your host and ask them to add it.
If you're running on a vps or similar you can also check apt/dnf/yum to check for package differences:
apt list --installed | grep php
dnf list --installed | grep php
yum list installed | grep php
If you see you have a lot of packages prefixed with php53- and only a few with php55- you could ask them to install the missing packages, for example (using brew on OSX), if I list with brew there is a clear difference between packages I have installed for php56 and php71:
user#comp ~ $ brew list | grep php
php56
php56-mcrypt
php56-memcache
php56-mongo
php56-xdebug
php71
php71-xdebug
In this situation I would ask the host to install php71-mcrypt, php71-memcache and php71-mongo or equivalents.
Typically, the most common reason for this problem (in your scenario) is when the mysql[i] package is not compatible with the version of PHP installed. Usually, the host takes care of the problem (I would bug them about it).
You can check the installation of mysqli on a Centos environment here: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php

I have tried virtually everything I could for the last 3 hours. I just don't seem to get it to load on PHP. I was able to install it via brew install memcached and successfully make run it as a background service via memcached -d. But that's not really what I am looking for.
I am looking at loading it as one of my PHP modules. Running php -m on the terminal does not list memcached on it at all. Neither looking at phpinfo() or print_r(get_loaded_extensions()); on runtime gave me any luck. I am trying to officially access it in my project via something like extension_loaded('memcached'), of course, this returns a falsy value atm.
I have tried solutions like below:
How to install memcached module for php#7.1 on MacOS High Sierra?
https://donatstudios.com/OS-X-Mavericks-Memcached-PHP-Extension-Installation
Can I install the memcached PHP extension with PECL?
Most of the solutions are similar to the above linked. Unfortunately, this isn't working for me because of an issue similar to this:
Unable to use PHPIZE after update to MacOS Mojave
I also get below error when executing a make command:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
And the below error when running ./configure
checking for session includes... configure: error: Cannot find
php_session.h
Meanwhile, I also cannot attempt an install via pecl install memcached due to the error below:
configuration download directory "/tmp/pear/install" is not writeable.
Change download_dir config variable to a writeable dir to avoid this
warning
Basically everything just doesn't work. And honestly, I didn't even know how to start writing this question, so I'm just kinda throwing everything in here.
It doesn't help that there are no recent discussions about installing memcached on PHP since Catalina. A lot of resources are just 5 years old and that's not a good sign, a number of them aren't even valid solutions anymore.
I am losing my mind. Why this thing is so complicated to configure is beyond my comprehension. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
So I was able to find a solution after 2 working days. What you should do is move away from using built-in Apache/PHP from macOS and use the ones from Homebrew.
Here are the descriptive step-by-step procedure I did:
1) Unload the built-in Apache.
2) Install a new Apache from Homebrew via brew install httpd and then run the service
3) Install PHP via brew install php
4) Configure httpd.conf from /usr/local/etc/httpd/, including loading Homebrew PHP module, mod_rewrite, setting up DirectoryIndex, ServerName, default Listen port, etc.
4.1) If you are using virtual hosts, set this up on /usr/local/etc/httpd/extra/
5) Configure ~/.bash_profile to use the new PHP version (test via php -v or which php)
6) Install PEAR
7) Install memcached via PEAR

PHP 7.1.23
Prestashop 1.7.5.1
I tried to install PHP intl extension on my local server in order to use Prestashop.
I added extension=php_intl.so to etc/php.ini
When I try to install Prestashop I get Intl extension is not loaded.
$ php -m | grep intl
When I do $ php -m | grep intl, I get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20160303/php_intl.so' - d
lopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20160303/php_intl.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0
Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20160303/php_intl.so' - dlopen

intl
It seems that the file php_intl.so doesn't exist.
$ sudo pecl install intl
I also tried $ sudo pecl install intland I get:
make: *** [php_intl.lo] Error 1
ERROR:make' failed`
$ curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1
I also tried $ curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1 and it doesn't create the intl.so file.
How can I solve this problem?
Brew's PHP 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 all have INTL enabled by default.
Most probably, you're just using your Mac OS' bundles version of PHP.
Run
ls -l $(which php)
to find out where the current PHP binary is located and whether it is symlinked to a Brew installation or not. In my case, for example:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 27 May 23 16:30 /usr/local/bin/php -> ../Cellar/php/7.3.5/bin/php
Meaning that my php is linked to Brew's 7.3.5 version.
If you are NOT using Brew's PHP, you'll see something like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 11169664 Mar 21 07:09 /usr/bin/php
Installing PHP through Brew
Find out whether you've already installed PHP:
brew list | grep php
If there is any output, and your version of PHP is present, go to step 2, or use step 1 to update PHP to the latest version.
1. Install Homebrew's PHP
brew install php#7.3
(or 7.2, 7.1). If Brew complains about not being able to find a formula, you might have messed with taps. Instead of php#7.3, you could try to supply the full path to the current php formula:
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/master/Formula/php.rb
Still not working, check whether you are running a recent version of Homebrew brew --version.
Homebrew 2.1.3-31-geaf2370
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision fd1ef; last commit 2019-05-25)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 16d50; last commit 2019-05-26)
2. Link Homebrew's PHP
Now, to have php 'in your path', there are two options.
a) Either homebrew's version must be linked from its install location (/usr/local/bin/Cellar/php....) to a directory in your path (e.g., /usr/local/bin). To do this, run:
brew link --force php#7.3
If you are not able to link, this is typically caused by set permissions or System Integrity Protection. In the first case, try sudo chown "$USER":admin /usr/local/bin/php.
b) Or, add the /usr/local/opt/php#7.3 directory (opt-prefix) to your $PATH variable. E.g., for Bash:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php#7.3/bin:/usr/local/opt/php#7.3/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
3. Validate installation
ls -l $(which php)
should show that php is linked to a Homebrew PHP installation in /usr/local/bin/Cellar.
php -v
should show the recently installed version of PHP. Try to restart your terminal if that's not the case.
php -i | grep -i intl
should show some information about the current install of intl.
If you're using webservers and/or PHP FPM, this is the time to restart those services. (Or restart your system, if you don't know how to do that and cannot figure out).
Possible issues
If you still get warnings about missing extensions (Unable to load dynamic library, etc.), then your php.ini is messed up.
Find the current location of php's ini
$ php -i | grep \.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/ext-opcache.ini
....
Edit /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini and find the offending extension load (e.g., extension="myext.so"). Comment out those that cannot be found.
Homebrew permissions
Some argue that it's a good idea to chown /usr/local.
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local
This will make installing things here, by hand and through Homebrew, a lot easier, but also a bit less secure too, since non-root processes are now allowed to write here too.
Your web-application is using a different version of PHP.
Make sure that it doesn't... The configuration of this depends on the used webserver. A first step would be to output the current PHP configuration in your web-application with <?php phpinfo();.
This explains steps for Apache.
Another way to get a webserver + PHP stack running quicly is using Laravel Valet.
Installing additional extensions
To install additional PHP extensions, use PEAR.
pear -V
should output the current PEAR and PHP version.
PEAR Version: 1.10.9
PHP Version: 7.3.5
Zend Engine Version: 3.3.5
Now, to install an extension, for example, PHP's yaml extension:
pear install yaml
I have seen a lot of answers about this problem and anyone helped me, but the last (of course). This is for XAMPP´s use.
Xcode is needed.
Download the version of php you use in xampp from php.net.
Extract it and open the extracted folder in a terminal using cd.
Change to subfolder ext/intl.
Run these commands to build the extension:
/Applications/XAMPP/bin/phpize
./configure --enable-intl --with-php-config=/Applications/XAMPP/bin/php-config --with-icu-dir=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/
make
sudo make install (password required)
Delete all files you downloaded and also the extracted folders.
Add to php.ini file in xampp/etc folder line
extension="intl.so"
Original link: https://community.apachefriends.org/viewtopic.php?p=255061&sid=27afc55649dfe6ea7b0824cb0bb8486b
Since php 7 it's not necessary load the extension php_intl.so, what do you need to do?, edit your php.ini and delete or comment the line that is loading the extension php_intl.so, after this reload your apache and try again.
There might be an issue with brew
You could try to use this as mentioned there:
brew tap kyslik/homebrew-php
brew install kyslik/php/php71-intl
i tried all but intl not working in mac so please uninstall xampp and install mamp it will work
So, on Pecl Official site ( https://pecl.php.net/package/intl ), it's clear that Intl package is not maintained anymore and has been superseded. Since PHP 5.3.0 you don't need to use Pecl to install intl extension, it's bundled with PHP.
But, it's missing on native instalation of PHP 7.1.24 on Mac OS Mojave.
if you wanna use only native apache and php pre-installed instead of using homebrew, do this:
Download PHP 7.1 from php.net, install XCode Command Line Tools, ICU (http://site.icu-project.org/), Autoconf, reinstall the developer tools header files, and finally install Intl extension using phpize.
Important: you'll have to disable SIP.
I'm currently developing a web page with PHP, and I had to install Pthread extension, I made it in the server (Ubuntu 14) so, before I had all working well, the problem came when I installed the extension, to install this extension I had to compile the php to make the needed configurations of PHP. Now, when I open a simple page, apache shows me the php code, it means that php is not interpreting or is not loaded in the modules of apache.
I went to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled but there's nothing of PHP, but in the linux terminal PHP is working well (so, it's installed). then I made:
sudo a2enmod php5
And I get this response:
ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!
then , I made:
a2query -m php5
but I get:
No module matches php5
I have installed PHP 5.6version, so how can I enable this module in apache. I cannot install the standar version of PHP, I need this one for the mentioned reason. Thanks!
Apache needs a PHP module to execute PHP. In some distros (Debian, etc.) there is a specific package for this. In Ubuntu: libapache2-mod-php5
It does not impact the php installation install but only adds the apache module.
Once installed, one only need to activate the module.
I added the curl module in /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini :
extension = /usr/lib/php5/20121212/curl.so
but when I restart php and I do :
php -m
I get this error :
curl : Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20121212
PHP compiled with module API=20141010
These options need to match
I also tried :
apt-get install php5-curl
Curl is "already to the new version".
And phpinfo() tells php5 is running :
PHP Version 5.5.9
php.ini Path : /etc/php5/fpm
PHP Extension : 20121212
but when I check on the server with :
which php => /usr/bin/php (for php7)
php -v => PHP 7.0 (with a warning before "Unable to initialize module")
and if I remove curl.so in the php.ini above (the one of php7, at 1st line) the warning disapear.
---------------------------------------
so I added : extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/curl.so
in :
/etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
then I restart, but I still can't see this module :
And here the error saying this module is still missing :
So, if you're trying to add the module to webserver's PHP, which is in your case PHP5, you need to add that module to /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini (based on your previous question where you stated that you use NGINX+PHP-FPM).
If you want to add it to the CLI version - you're doing it wrong, cause you're adding PHP5 module to PHP7 - that won't work, you need to install php7-curl and it will auto-add itself where needed.
To elaborate somewhat more. Your phpinfo() tells you that your INI path is in /etc/php5/fpm:
PHP Version 5.5.9
php.ini Path : /etc/php5/fpm
PHP Extension : 20121212
Hence, to add any extensions to that particular PHP - just add them to /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini. Note, you can not (or very rarely) add extensions from one version of PHP to another version of PHP.
I'll add a summary of what's happening on the OP's system for future reference then.
Basically, OP has 2 versions of PHP installed on the system simultaneously, PHP5 and PHP7 with an NGINX werserver with php-fpm extension.
His NGINX is configured to use PHP5, while CLI PHP defaults to PHP7.
The confusion with OP comes from the fact that on an Ubuntu system there's a clear difference between the PHP that's called from the CLI and the PHP that's used by webserver.
CLI tools are available per-version as /usr/bin/php5 and /usr/bin/php7, with one default link /usr/bin/php pointing to one particular version, in this case PHP7.
For the FPM module, there are 2 packages available php5-fpm and php7-fpm, with respective configs in /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini and /etc/php/7.0/php.ini.
For the CLI, there are 2 packages available as well - php5-cli and php7-cli, with respective configs in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini.
For curl extension, there's the same story, php5-curl and php7-curl. Extensions will be auto-wired to the needed INI files by the deb installer.
Installing multiple versions of PHP for fun can create this kind of confusion. :)
That means that your CURL module was compiled against a different version of PHP. Depending on your flavor of Linux (looks like Debian flavor) you might need to install a module
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
What about calling your hosting company to see what versions they have available and which one's your code are picking up?
Maybe they have some unique setup that's picking versions in a way you aren't picturing (one wouldn't picture.)
I feel this is an awfully obtuse question to ask, but strangely, this problem is poorly documented.
I would like to upgrade PHP, but there are several problems:
There is no built-in package manager. MacPorts doesn't recognize php as an installed package because it didn't install PHP itself.
Running locate php indicates there are probably many dependencies.
I don't know HOW php was installed, as it was included with the OS, so I don't know whether I should install from source or download binaries. I also don't know the proper way to uninstall the previous version without breaking dependencies.
I am running on Leopard. I have a feeling Apple doesn't want you to upgrade. Would buying Snow Leopard and upgrade solve this problem (and future ones like it)?
You may want to check out Marc Liyanage's PHP package. It comes in a nice Mac OS X installer package that you can double-click. He keeps it pretty up to date.
http://php-osx.liip.ch/
Also, although upgrading to Snow Leopard won't help you do PHP updates in the future, it will probably give you a newer version of PHP. I'm running OS X 10.6.2 and it has PHP 5.3.0.
I use this: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php
The command is:
$ xcode-select --install
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
$ brew tap homebrew/versions
$ brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
$ brew options php56
$ brew install php56
Then config in your .bash_profile or .bashrc
# Homebrew PHP CLI
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php56)/bin:$PATH"
I think one simple way to do it, is:
1 - Check you where is your current PHP:
$ which php
$ /usr/local/bin/php
You see? Usually, our commands that we run is a link in /usr/local/bin so...
2 - Unlink this current link of PHP
unlink /usr/local/bin/php
If you prefere, before unlink it, check the path and then remove php files (do ls -al /usr/local/bin | grep php and then rm -rf into desired path)
3 - Install PHP 7.1
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1
4 - Create new link (using php 7.1 bin that you have installed)
ln /usr/local/php5-7.1.9-20170914-100859/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php
Like I said, its a simple way I think.
There is no built-in package manager. MacPorts doesn't recognize php as an installed package because it didn't install PHP itself.
You could still install it with MacPorts. sudo port install php52 (or whichever version you want) will install PHP.
It won't overwrite the Apple-supplied version. It'll install it under /opt/local. You can add /opt/local to the beginning of your $PATH, and use the MacPorts version in your Apache config.
Option #1
As recommended here, this site provides a convenient, up-to-date one liner.
This doesn't overwrite the base version of PHP on your system, but instead installs it cleanly in /usr/local/php5.
Option #2
My preferred method is to just install via Homebrew.
Before I go on, I have the latest version (v5.0.15) of OS X Server (yes, horrible, I know...however, the web server seems to work A-OK). I searched high and low for days trying to update (or at least get Apache to point to) a new version of PHP. My mcrypt did not work, along with other extensions and I installed and reinstalled PHP countless times from http://php-osx.liip.ch/ and other tutorials until I finally noticed a tid-bit of information written in a comment in one of the many different .conf files OS X Server keeps which was that OS X Server loads it's own custom .conf file before it loads the Apache httpd.conf (located at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf). The server file is located:
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
When you open this file, you have to comment out this line like so:
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Then add in the correct path (which should already be installed if you have installed via the http://php-osx.liip.ch/ link):
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so
After this modification, my PHP finally loaded the correct PHP installation. That being said, if things go wonky, it may be because OS X is made to work off the native installation of PHP at the time of OS X installation. To revert, just undo the change above.
Anyway, hopefully this is helpful for anyone else spending countless hours on this.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard won't solve the your primary problem of keeping PHP up to date. Apple doesn't always keep the third party software that it bundles up to date with OS updates. And relying on Apple to get you the bug fix / security update you need is asking for trouble.
Additionally, I would recommend installing through MacPorts (and doing the config necessary to use it instead of Apple's PHP) rather than try to upgrade the Apple supplied PHP in place. Anything you do to /usr/bin risks being overwritten by some future Apple update.
Saving on keystrokes, this worked on MacOS Sierra:
$ brew install homebrew/php/php71
$ /usr/local/opt/php71/bin/php -v
PHP 7.1.4 (cli) (built: Apr 14 2017 15:02:16) ( NTS )

Check your current php version in terminal with the following command,
$ php -v
You see current php version in terminal, and next command run in terminal if you want to upgrade your php version with php concat with version liked as,
$ brew install homebrew/php/php71
Please restart terminal if you finished php version upgrade installed and run the command.
$ php -v
Now you see the current php version in terminal....thank
Use this Command:
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.0
You can use curl to update php version.
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.3
Last Step:
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
Check the upgraded version
php -v
best way to upgrade is
compile it from source
