Created page with "You can install different versions of PHP on Ubuntu. This will also show how to install the versions and use them on Virtualmin for different virtual servers on a Virtualmin/W..."

New page

You can install different versions of PHP on Ubuntu. This will also show how to install the versions and use them on Virtualmin for different virtual servers on a Virtualmin/Webmin install.

== Add the Repository ==
=== Ubuntu 16.06 ===
Use the following on the command line.
<pre>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
</pre>

=== Ubuntu 18.04 ===
Use the following on the command line.
<pre>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update
</pre>

=== Additional Info ===

After the updates you can use <code>sudo apt-get upgrade</code> for Ubuntu 16.04 or <code>sudo apt upgrade</code> for Ubuntu 18.04. This should pull down the very latest version of PHP from the <code>ondrej/php</code> repository. Currently, as of this writing is PHP 7.4.

== Install Specific Versions & Modules ==
Right now I am using the following. You can substitute <code>7.3</code> or <code>7.2</code> for <code>7.4</code>. Just check the modules available per PHP version noted below.

Time to install.
=== Ubuntu 16.04 ===
<pre>
sudo apt-get install php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-cgi
</pre>

Then the following modules (these are the ones I generally install):
<pre>
sudo apt-get install php7.4-bcmath php7.4-bz2 php7.4-curl php7.4-dba php7.4-enchant php7.4-gd
php7.4-gmp php7.4-imap php7.4-interbase php7.4-intl php7.4-ldap php7.4-mbstring php7.4-mysql
php7.4-odbc php7.4-pgsql php7.4-pspell php7.4-snmp php7.4-soap php7.4-tidy php7.4-xml php7.4-xmlrpc
php7.4-xsl php7.4-zip
</pre>

Check your version. Usually, the highest version is available with:
<pre>
