# Easy installation of PHP extensions in official PHP Docker images

This repository contains a script that can be used to easily install a PHP extension inside the [official PHP Docker images](https://hub.docker.com/_/php/).

The script works both for Alpine and Debian Linux.


## Usage

Here's a sample Dockerfile that installs the GD and xdedub extensions inside a docker image:

```
FROM php:7.2-cli

ADD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/master/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/

RUN chmod uga+x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions && sync && \
    install-php-extensions gd xdebug
```

Installation via COPY --from

```
FROM php:7.2-cli

COPY --from=mlocati/php-extension-installer /usr/bin/install-php-extensions /usr/bin/

RUN install-php-extensions gd xdebug
```

`install-php-extensions` will install all the required APT/APK packages; at the end of the script execution, the no-more needed packages will be removed.

*Number of supported extensions: 67*
<!-- END OF EXTENSIONS TABLE -->

PS: the pre-installed PHP extensions are excluded from this list.
You can list them with the following command (change `php:7.2-cli` to reflect the PHP version you are interested in):

```sh
docker run --rm -it php:7.2-cli php -m
```

## Special requirements

Some extension has special requirements:

## How to contribute

### Adding support to a new PHP extension?

1. change the `install-php-extensions` script
2. update the `data/supported-extensions` file, adding a new line with the handle of the extension and the list of supported PHP versions
3. if the extension requires ZTS images:  
   add a new line to the `data/special-requirements` file, with the extension handle followed by a space and `zts`

See [this pull request](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/60) for an example.

### Changing the supported PHP versions for an already supported PHP extension?

1. change the `install-php-extensions` script
2. update the `data/supported-extensions` file, adding the new PHP version to the existing line corresponding to the updated extension

See [this pull request](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/62) for an example.

### Improving code for an already supported extension?

If you change some code that affects one or more extensions, please add a line with `Test: extension1, extension2` to the message of one of the pull request commits.
That way, the test jobs will check the extension even if you don't touch the `data/supported-extensions` file.

Here's an example of a commit message:

```
Improve the GD and ZIP extensions

Test: gd, zip
```

Tests only check the installation of a single PHP extension at a time.
If you want to test installing more PHP extensions at the same time, use a commit message like this:

```
Improve the GD and ZIP extensions

Test: gd+zip
```


If your pull request contains multiple commits, we'll check the "Test:" message of every commit.
If you want to stop parsing next commits, add `-STOP-` in the "Test:" line, for example:

```
Improve the GD and ZIP extensions

Test: gd, zip, -STOP-
```

See [this pull request](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/43) for an example.
