Can't install PHPExcel - php

I'm trying to install the PHPExcel library on an Ubuntu server.
I executed the following commands in the command line:
pear channel-discover pear.pearplex.net
pear install pearplex/PHPExcel
The channel was install but the instakll generates an error:
pearplex/PHPExcel requires PHP extension "zip" (version >= 1.8.0), installed version is 1.4.0
No valid packages found
install failed
Then I did a safe-upgrade:
aptitude safe-upgrade
and when I check PHP, I see this (Zip version 2.0.0):
Any ideas?

Use
$ php -m
to see if the zip extension is there on command line.
Then use
$ php --ini
to find the location of your php.ini file and fix it.

PHP extension imagick 3.5.0 for PHP 8 : installation on macos fails

When I try to run the following command
pecl install imagick
Then the installation end up with:
imagemagick/7.0.11-9/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/7.0.11-9/lib -lMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI -lMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI

ld: library not found for -lgomp
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [imagick.la] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed
The reason seems to be that the compilation of the last version of imagick (3.5.0) has changes that require this library. It's impossible to install a lower version because they are not compatible with PHP 8.0.
Any idea how to get rid of this error on macos?
Update 22 July 2021
As of 22 July 2021, version 3.5.1 is stable in the pecl channel and can be used to compile imagick for both PHP 7 and PHP 8.
pecl install imagick
The general command will not fail anymore
Old Answer
Version 3.5 currently can't compile on MAC because of missing/broken support for gomp of the MAC gcc compiler.
Best fix is to install version 3.4.4
pecl install imagick-3.4.4
More info here
There is a fix for this issue by manually installing the extension. The only issue with it is that it does not appear in the pecl installed extensions after the installation is done and can't be uninstalled from pecl. Nonetheless I'm providing the answer I found here:
Run the following commands
cd path/to/installation/is/going/to/be/made
pecl bundle imagick
cd imagick
mv config.m4 config.m4.bak
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yyongpil/imagick/2a2b924b9d25c8ef4a677b72e6868fbc7c9e01cc/config.m4
To explain the previous process command line by command line:
Place yourself in the folder where you are going to make the install
Download and expand the source files
Enter the source folder
Backup the original config.m4 file for safety purposes
Download modified config.m4 file to fix gomp issue as explained here
And finally simply continue with the manual installation process
phpize
./configuration
make
sudo make install
After this, you should be good to go to use the latest imagick extension for PHP. For PHP 8.0 and imagick 3.5.0 the so file is located at /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20200930/imagick.so
A new version has been tag and contains the build configuration fixed! You can install it with this command:
pecl install imagick-3.5.1
(without the version it should now work)

Can not connect to MongoDB from PHP

I have installed MongoDB PHP lib
but despite this I can't connect to MongoDB database
Error of rockmonogo :
To make things right, you must install php_mongo module. Here for installation documents on PHP.net.
Error of phpmoadmin :
PHP cannot access MongoDB, you need to install the Mongo extension for PHP.
Error of Laravel with Jenssegers\Mongodb lib :
Unsupported driver [mongodb]
Make sure that it is in fact properly installed. The errors you're getting seem to indicate that your environment can't find the extension. I've compiled installation instructions for you.
Unix-like Systems
Open a terminal emulator and run wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
Then start the installation of PECL with php go-pear.phar
Install the PHP MongoDB extension sudo pecl install mongodb.
Add extension=mongodb.so to the php.ini file.
Mac OS X
Install homebrew by running /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" in a terminal.
Run brew update
Run brew tap homebrew/php
Install the extension according to your PHP version.
PHP 5.4: brew install php54-mongodb
PHP 5.5: brew install php55-mongodb
PHP 5.6: brew install php56-mongodb
PHP 7.0: brew install php70-mongodb
Windows
Open your web browser to http://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb
Open the latest version from the DLL link (with the Windows icon).
Choose the appropriate version from the DLL list. They are sorted by PHP version, system architecture (i.e. 32-bit vs 64-bit), and thread safety.
Extract the downloaded archive and place php_mongodb.dll in your PHP extensions directory.
Add extension=php_mongodb.dll to the php.ini file.
For mac system, the homebrew php tap mechanism is deprecated and it won't work. You need to manually install it or you need to install Ampps which contains all the packages in built.
The following error might be thrown for the user with new version of the system
Error: homebrew/php was deprecated. This tap is now empty as all its formulae were migrated.

install PHP Cassandra driver on Heroku

I'm creating a buildpack to install a PHP extension.
I would like execute pecl install cassandra.
%customPath%/.apt/usr/bin/pecl: 28: exec: /usr/bin/php: not found
If I execute which php, the php path is %customPath%/.apt/usr/bin/php
And I can't execute pear config-set … (bin_dir or php_dir), I have the same error.
Do you know how change the first default php_bin path?
Very good news!
Now there is an optional extension for that:

installing composer on centos

I'm trying to install composer on my server (centos) but I keep getting this error :
The phar extension is missing.
Install it or recompile php without --disable-phar
ps:I am trying to install composer to work with laravel
Specifically for CentOS
Edit the file /etc/php.d/20-phar.ini and remove the ; character in front of the line:
extension=phar.so
Now the phar extension is enabled.
Composer is provided as a phar as that extension is a standard part of PHP 5.3 which is also the minimum required version for running Composer at all.
If you have a weird version of PHP 5.3+ without the phar extension you could also convert it to a zipball or tarball via online tools, unpack it to /usr/local/share/composer, and then symlink manually from /usr/local/bin/composer to /usr/local/share/composer/bin/composer. Assuming no other settings are preventing installation that should work as well.
PHAR is part of the PHP core since some years now. Its already installed as dynamic/shared extension, but probably and simply not activated in your case
Please check your php extension folder for a file "phar.so".
To enable the extension:
Go to your php.ini and enable extension = phar.so
Check the loaded PHP Extensions with php -m and look for "Phar"
Then re-run the Composer install
First, you need to get composer.phar by doing :
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
And move the composer.phar for using globally :
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Can't phpize or configure an extension in OS X 10.9 Mavericks

I am trying to build the memcached extension on OS X 10.9 Mavericks for use with the built in PHP 5.4, initially I tried pecl install memcached but that threw the following.
checking for zlib location... configure: error: memcached support requires ZLIB. Use --with-zlib-dir=<DIR> to specify the prefix where ZLIB headers and library are located
ERROR: `/private/tmp/pear/install/memcached/configure' failed
So I created a tmp directory and executed pecl download memcached, unzipped the code and cd'd to the appropriate directory.
Trying to phpize it returned the following:
grep: /usr/include/php/main/php.h: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/include/php/Zend/zend_modules.h: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/include/php/Zend/zend_extensions.h: No such file or directory
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:
Zend Module Api No:
Zend Extension Api No:
I had brew installed zlib a while ago and pointed ./configure at my installation.
./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.8 I was greeted with the following error message:
checking for session includes... configure: error: Cannot find php_session.h
So now I'm wondering the best course of action here... /usr/include/ doesn't exist at all... is this a Mavericks thing? I don't remember having this problem in 10.8 at all.
I could try brew installing php-devel but I presume that isn't going to be the right version of what I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated here
Update
locate php_session.h reveals
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/usr/include/php/ext/session/php_session.h
should I just ln -s this to the expected location or is there some way to do this via XCode? I have the command line tools installed...
run xcode-select --install to install the XCode5 Command Line Tools, then sudo pecl install memcache. You should be good to go.
After install XCode5 Command Line Tools as afessler sugest (xcode-select --install) I couldn't do the "sudo pecl install memcache" because pecl was missing.
I had to install PEAR and PECL following this guide: http://techtastico.com/post/como-instalar-pear-y-pecl-en-os-x-mavericks/.
Then all worked good. Thanks!
I had this problem and it was due to MAMP not having all the PHP sources.
I found this really helpful solution that explains how to download and configure them:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/11175197/369326
Note that the MAMP components doesn't include the extras for any versions of PHP higher than php 5.4.10 but you can download the extras from http://php.net/releases.
As said above but not using xcode install
Try installing pecl manually:
curl -O http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar
and then:
sudo pecl install memcache
