I got the error
Call to undefined function recode_string()
in a simple php script, that had worked seamlessly beforehand.
Manually installing gnu recode on the system would not fix it.
Install php-recode
Installing php-recode package on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) is as easy as running the following command on terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php-recode
It turns out php-reccode had to be installed manually now while it was formerly included so
sudo apt install php-recode
fixed it.
Did not find a solution here or in the php manual as yet so thought it might help you too.
I want to update php version from 7.0 to 7.1 so i tried update php commands to update php version on ubuntu system.
But its not updated, so i removed php 7.0 version using purge command
sudo apt-get purge 'php*'
These are the commands i tried for update php7.1 version after uninstall php7.0
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-common
Getting error in command prompt as
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php7.1
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.1'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.1'
E: Unable to locate package php7.1-common
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.1-common'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.1-common'
What im missing or did any thing wrong here?
It seems like php7.1 and php7.1-common packages are not available in your apt's sources.
I am assuming you are using the latest Ubuntu 18 LTS.
You could install php7.2 from the repositories, however older versions are not included anymore. You would have to install them manually.
For Version 7.2
sudo apt update
sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-common
php -v
For Version 7.1
Download php
Extract the downloaded archive
Follow the included readme file
other options
If you are developing with different versions of PHP you might want to look into PHP docker containers
PHPDocker.io can be a good starting point.
EDIT: Also maybe consider posting this question on askubuntu instead, they might have more specific knowledge there.
You need to remove the old version before adding the new one.
Try: sudo apt-get remove php7.0*
Also it is useful to list all php packages to check if you are installing all you need.
sudo apt-get list php*
Then it is safe to run your commands.
I have few projects which are developed on php5.5.9. So I am trying to install php5.5.9 in ubuntu 17.10 but it is showing error.
I have used the below command:
sudo apt-get install php5.5
It's showing the following error:
E: Unable to locate package php5.5
E: Couldn't find any package by
glob 'php5.5' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php5.5'
Could you please help me.
PHP 5.5 is no longer supported - http://php.net/supported-versions.php
You can install 5.6 using ppa:ondrej/php:
https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php
Or you can compile from source, it's not so complicated:
https://secure.php.net/get/php-5.5.9.tar.gz/from/a/mirror
You receive the error because php5 is outdated.
Execute : sudo apt-get install php7.0-imap
on the other way: use version:
try sudo apt-get install php5.5-rpm
or
try sudo apt-get install php5.5-rpm
You can get php5.5 tar file from old archive in php official site.
To install from source I followed this link. Its working good.
I want to install the v8js extension for PHP5.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 but can't make it working.
When I try to install the v8js extension version 0.2.0 (latest) with PECL, I have this message:
configure: error: libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/v8js/configure --with-v8js' failed
If I try to install an old version, I have a compilation error. This message is very similar to my issue: Install v8js for php on ubuntu
How can I fix this issue?
EDIT: I couldn't install it on Ubuntu 14.04 with PHP5.5, even with a PHP downgrade with PHPbrew to PHP 5.4. However, using Ubuntu 12.04 with PHP 5.4 works great. I didn't try the downgrade from PHP 5.5 to 5.4 on Ubuntu 12.04.
in case you can't find libv8-dev or libv8-dbg, you can find the correct version by run command
~$ apt-cache search libv8
libv8-3.14-dbg - V8 JavaScript engine - debugging symbols
libv8-3.14-dev - V8 JavaScript engine - development files for 3.14 branch
libv8-3.14.5 - V8 JavaScript engine - runtime library
libv8-dev - V8 JavaScript engine - development files for latest branch
then you can run
~$ sudo apt-get install libv8-3.14-dev libv8-3.14-dbg g++ cpp
then you can try to install v8js via pecl by running
~$ sudo pecl install v8js-0.2.0
if that command return error like this
configure: error: libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/v8js/configure --with-v8js' failed
you can try to install v8js-0.1.3 instead by running
~$ sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3
then edit your php.ini to add v8js extension
~$ echo "extension=v8js.so" >> /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Open your terminal/console
sudo apt-get install libv8-dev libv8-dbg g++ cpp
Make an update sudo apt-get update
Try sudo pecl install v8js-0.2.0 (or other version i.e.: sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3)
Edit your php.ini (Check: Where is my php.ini file?) file by adding: extension=v8js.so.
Restart server
If it the extension still doesn't work, try to edit /etc/php5/conf.d/v8js.ini and add extension=v8js.so and restart server again.
Hope this helps.
These other answers work well and I used v8js-0.1.3 for the past 1.5 years but after needing to upgrade to PHP 7 I needed a better solution as v0.1.3 doesn't compile with PHP 7 (something to do with php_smart_str being renamed to php_smart_string).
After a couple hours of frustrating research and compiling libv8 myself, I didn't want to have to go through this whole process on every server I provisioned.
Anyway, I found this site which points you to a launchpad PPA site that provides a couple different ubuntu packages with the 5.1 and 5.2 libv8 libraries.
I ran these commands (please don't add repositories of 3rd party devs without understanding the risks).
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pinepain/libv8-5.2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libv8-5.2-dev
sudo pecl install v8js-1.1.0
(Thanks #JeyKeu for suggesting to add "apt-get update" to these commands)
I couldn't get v8js-1.3.0 or 1.2.0 to build, but 1.1.0 worked well. I checked the changelog and found that the latest updates are not necessary in my circumstance anyway.
I'm trying to install Facebook PHP SDK with Composer. This is what I get
$ composer install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Installation request for facebook/php-sdk dev-master -> satisfiable by facebook/php-sdk[dev-master].
- facebook/php-sdk dev-master requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.
Problem is, I have curl extension enabled (uncommented in php.ini). When I run phpinfo(), it says it's enabled.
Only clue I have is that when I run $ php -m, 'curl' line is missing but I don't know what to do about it.
I have wamp 2.4 on Win8 and I'm running composer in cmd.exe.
This is caused because you don't have a library php5-curl installed in your system,
On Ubuntu its just simple run the line code below, in your case on Xamp take a look in Xamp documentation
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
For anyone who uses php7.0
sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
For those who uses php7.1
sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl
For those who use php7.2
sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl
For those who use php7.3
sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl
For those who use php7.4
sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl
For those who use php8.0
sudo apt-get install php8.0-curl
Or simply run below command to install by your version:
sudo apt-get install php-curl
This worked for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519176
After installing composer using the command curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php just run a sudo apt-get update then reinstall curl with sudo apt-get install php5-curl. Then composer's installation process should work so you can finally run php composer.phar install to get the dependencies listed in your composer.json file.
on php7 run for example:
> sudo apt-get install php-curl
> sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
for every missing extension. Then:
> sudo apt-get update
and finally (in the project's root folder):
> composer install
As Danack said in comments, there are 2 php.ini files. I uncommented the line with curl extension in the one in Apache folder, which is php.ini used by the web server.
Composer, on the other hand, uses php for console which is a whole different story. Php.ini file for that program is not the one in Apache folder but it's in the PHP folder and I had to uncomment the line in it too. Then I ran the installation again and it was OK.
I ran into the same issue trying to install Dropbox SDK.
CURL was indeed enabled on my system but this meant by the php.ini in the wamp\bin\apache folder.
I simply had to manually edit the php.ini situated in wamp\bin\php, uncomment the extension=php_curl.dll line, restart Wamp and it worked perfectly.
Why there are those 2 php.ini and only one is used is still a mystery for me...
Hope it's helpul to someone!
I had this problem after upgrading to PHP5.6. My answer is very similar to Adriano's, except I had to run:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
Notice the "5.6". Installing php5-curl didn't work for me.
For anyone who encounters this issue on Windows i couldn't find my answer on google at all.
I just tried running composer require ext-curl and this worked.
Alternatively add the following in your composer.json file:
"require": {
"ext-curl": "^7.3"
}
According to https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/2119 you could extend your local composer.json to state that it provides the extension (which it doesn't really do - that's why you shouldn't publicly publish your package, only use it internally).
I ran into a similar issue when trying to get composer to install some dependencies.
It turns out the .dll my version of Wamp came with had a conflict, I am guessing, with 64 bit Windows.
This url has fixed curl dlls: http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/
Scroll down to the section that says: Fixed Curl Extensions.
I downloaded "php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip". I just overwrote the dll inside the wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext directory with the dll that was in the zip file and composer worked again.
I am running 64 bit Windows 8.
Hope this helps.
if use wamp go to:
wamp\bin\php\php.5.x.x\php.ini
find:
;extension=php_curl.dll
remove (;)
Enable in php 7 try below command
sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
Not sure why an answer with Linux commands would get so many up votes for a Windows related question, but anyway...
If phpinfo() shows Curl as enabled, yet php -m does NOT, it means that you probably have a php-cli.ini too. run php -i and see which ini file loaded. If it's different, diff it and reflect and differences in the CLI ini file. Then you should be good to go.
Btw download and use Git Bash instead of cmd.exe!
I have Archlinux with php 7.2, which has Curl integrated, so no amount of configuration voodoo would make Composer see ext-curl, that PHP could see and work with happily. Work around is to use Composer with --ignore-platform-reqs.
eg composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
Reference = https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/1426
try install php5-curl by using below snippet.
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
if it won't work try below code i m sure it will work fine.
sudo apt-get install php-curl
for me it worked... all the best :)
In my case I moved from PHP5 to PHP7 and I ve got this error,
Simply go to your /bin/php/php7/php.ini , then uncomment extension=php_curl.dll and restart your server, re-run your composer install.
If you getting error like php7.2-curl doesn't have installable candidate or not locate any package or dependencies is php7.2-common Or libcurl3 Do this
You have to tackle in mature way. Install aptitude these ubuntu package manager will finds all dependencies, and will install one by one.
apt-get install aptitude
Now you have to check if aptitude can download it or not if download it follow instructions
sudo aptitude install php7.2-curl
If you have gotten any error like this
E: Unable to locate package php7.2-curl
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.2-curl'
Any type on error i'm not talking about proper these errors
Try to add php package again
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
Now try this command
sudo aptitude install php7.2-curl
Aptitude will ask you you want to keep current version of all dependencies
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) php7.2-curl [Not Installed]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Type n then Enter
Aptitude will find all dependencies and ask you to install all package type
y
Again
y
Then
systemctl restart apache2
For centos of rhel
systemctl restart httpd
It will Not enabling PHP 7.2 FPM by default.
NOTICE: To enable PHP 7.2 FPM in Apache2 do
a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
a2enconf php7.2-fpm
This method is not only for this error you can find any of php apache2 or ubuntu system package solution using aptitude.
Upvote if you find your solution
If you are ubuntu, this will work for you.
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
