PHP 7.0.5 for Jessie

On March 31st 2016, the PHP group published PHP 7.0.5.

This is a security release. Several security bugs were fixed in this release. All PHP 7.0 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Packages of PHP 7.0.5 are now available for Debian 8 “Jessie” on amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please note that :

PHP 7 and PHP 5 from Jessie are now co-installable on the same machine
Packages of the following PECL extensions are now available : APCu, APCu_bc, geoip, igbinary, imagick, memcached, mongodb, msgpack, redis and xdebug. Careful, PHP 7 support from some of them is still very young.
The thread-safe version of all these packages will be published soon.

As usual :

your feedbacks are always welcome. Just make sure they are useful.
feel free to show your support, it is always greatly appreciated… 🙂

Thanks / Merci 🙂

I’m using the dotdeb PHP7 source package to build packages for ARM (Raspberry Pi). The problem I’ve come across is that I can’t seem to build individual packages. It always picks the php7.0 meta package and builds every SAPI and module, which takes very long on the Raspberry Pi, even with 4 threads.

Is there a way to build only the SAPIs and module I need?

@Robin Kunde : unfortunately no, the debian/rules Makefile has not been written with package separation in mind.

Hi there!

Thanks (again) for providing this great repo! But there seems to be a little problem:

I just installed the “php7.0-geoip” package and it does not set a “/etc/php/mods-available/geoip.ini” with the line “extension=geoip.so” and also the simlinks “/etc/php/7.0/{apache2,cli}/conf.d/20-geoip.ini” -> “/etc/php/mods-available/geoip.ini” are missing.

Did you leave out these config settings on purpose?

Cheers,
Ansas

@Ansas : thanks for you report. I totally missed this issue. I’ll fix it in a later upload.

Thanks man, your doing a great work!

Hi,

Would it be possible to configure PHP7 with –enable-pty support?

There is a long-standing ‘feature’ of PHP which means it can’t be used unless passed as a configure argument.

Short example of what I’m seeing:

Longer historical explanation:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33147

It would be great to have this support.

Thanks for all your work.

Hi
pear is compatible witch php7, any chance getting a php7-pear package ?

@vasil : apt-get install php7.0-memcached

@Marc.D : working on it

Thank you, is working.

Do you plan soon to integrate pdo-pgsql with php 7.0 ?

@jeremy : Please install php7.0-pgsql. Both pgsql and PDO_pgsql are included in this package.

It might be worth disabling pcre.jit by default, as I ran into an annoying issue on Debian 8 + php 7.0.5 + Zend HTTP, where it was failing to validate URIs and throwing internal errors.

After some digging, I found disabling JIT sorted it – This may be relevant – https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70304

I can only assume Debian 8 is lacking the fixed PCRE

Awesome work! Keep it up! 😀 Are you going to release the SSH2 package for PHP 7?
