PHP 5.6.4 for Wheezy

On December 18th 2014, the PHP group released PHP 5.6.4.

Two security-related bugs were fixed in this release, including the fix for CVE-2014-8142. All PHP 5.4 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

PHP 5.6.4 packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 7.7 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please also note these points :

Regression : php5-memcached lacks JSON support
Missing packages : Xcachen Xdebug and Xhprof are missing for now
End of support : Spplus won’t be supported anymore. Pinba’s fates hasn’t been decided yet.

As a consequence :

Don’t upgrade yet if you need missing features
For users upgrading from PHP 5.5, a full migration guide is available, detailing the changes between 5.5 and 5.6.0
The full list of changes is available in the ChangeLog
Your feedbacks are always welcome. Just make sure they are useful.

To install PHP 5.6 or to upgrade from previous version just follow the instructions.

I’m having these errors:

Failed loading /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/opcache.so: /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/opcache.so: undefined symbol: sapi_globals_id
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/memcache.so’ – /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/memcache.so: undefined symbol: basic_globals_id in Unknown on line 0

I’ve already tried: apt-get install –reinstall php5-memcache php5-apcu without success
Debian 7 amd64
php 5.6
php-fpm

Depuis la première build de PHP 5.6 jusqu’à la dernière en date, j’ai le même problème… ça ne fonctionne pas. Chaque page affiche un Internal Server Error.
Dans le syslog, j’ai :
kernel: php-cgi[31335]: segfault at 67 ip 00000000007c0850 sp 00007fff305fba00 error 4 in php5-cgi[400000+84a000]

Du coup je suis toujours en 5.5 en prod alors que mon environnement de dev a été passé à 5.6 depuis un moment pour assurer une migration sans accroc :-/

When I try to install php5-phalcon from frbit.com repository it says:

Depends: phpapi-20100525 but is not installable …

Any help?!

@Yannici : unfortunately, the php5-falcon package that you try to install has been built for PHP 5.4 and is not compatible with PHP 5.6. You’ll have to rebuild it by yourself, using these instructions :

Guillaume, could you share the problems that you’ve spotted while building xdebug and xhprof?
I would like to try to help and I am interested to know about them anyway.
