|
### Using PHP
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Overview
|
||
|
|
||
|
Several versions of PHP are available on Nix, each of which having a
|
||
|
wide variety of extensions and libraries available.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The attribute `php` refers to the version of PHP considered most
|
||
|
stable and thoroughly tested in nixpkgs for any given release of
|
||
|
NixOS. Note that while this version of PHP may not be the latest major
|
||
|
release from upstream, any version of PHP supported in nixpkgs may be
|
||
|
utilized by specifying the desired attribute by version, such as
|
||
|
`php74`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Only versions of PHP that are supported by upstream for the entirety
|
||
|
of a given NixOS release will be included in that release of
|
||
|
NixOS. See [PHP Supported
|
||
|
Versions](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Interactive tools built on PHP are put in `php.packages`; composer is
|
||
|
for example available at `php.packages.composer`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Most extensions that come with PHP, as well as some popular
|
||
|
third-party ones, are available in `php.extensions`; for example, the
|
||
|
opcache extension shipped with PHP is available at
|
||
|
`php.extensions.opcache` and the third-party ImageMagick extension at
|
||
|
`php.extensions.imagick`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The different versions of PHP that nixpkgs provides is located under
|
||
|
attributes named based on major and minor version number; e.g.,
|
||
|
`php74` is PHP 7.4 with commonly used extensions installed,
|
||
|
`php74base` is the same PHP runtime without extensions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Installing PHP with packages
|
||
|
|
||
|
A PHP package with specific extensions enabled can be built using
|
||
|
`php.withExtensions`. This is a function which accepts an anonymous
|
||
|
function as its only argument; the function should take one argument,
|
||
|
the set of all extensions, and return a list of wanted extensions. For
|
||
|
example, a PHP package with the opcache and ImageMagick extensions
|
||
|
enabled:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
php.withExtensions (e: with e; [ imagick opcache ])
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that this will give you a package with _only_ opcache and
|
||
|
ImageMagick, none of the other extensions which are enabled by default
|
||
|
in the `php` package will be available.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To enable building on a previous PHP package, the currently enabled
|
||
|
extensions are made available in its `enabledExtensions`
|
||
|
attribute. For example, to generate a package with all default
|
||
|
extensions enabled, except opcache, but with ImageMagick:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
php.withExtensions (e:
|
||
|
(lib.filter (e: e != php.extensions.opcache) php.enabledExtensions)
|
||
|
++ [ e.imagick ])
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want a PHP build with extra configuration in the `php.ini`
|
||
|
file, you can use `php.buildEnv`. This function takes two named and
|
||
|
optional parameters: `extensions` and `extraConfig`. `extensions`
|
||
|
takes an extension specification equivalent to that of
|
||
|
`php.withExtensions`, `extraConfig` a string of additional `php.ini`
|
||
|
configuration parameters. For example, a PHP package with the opcache
|
||
|
and ImageMagick extensions enabled, and `memory_limit` set to `256M`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
php.buildEnv {
|
||
|
extensions = e: with e; [ imagick opcache ];
|
||
|
extraConfig = "memory_limit=256M";
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### Example setup for `phpfpm`
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can use the previous examples in a `phpfpm` pool called `foo` as
|
||
|
follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
let
|
||
|
myPhp = php.withExtensions (e: with e; [ imagick opcache ]);
|
||
|
in {
|
||
|
services.phpfpm.pools."foo".phpPackage = myPhp;
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
let
|
||
|
myPhp = php.buildEnv {
|
||
|
extensions = e: with e; [ imagick opcache ];
|
||
|
extraConfig = "memory_limit=256M";
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
in {
|
||
|
services.phpfpm.pools."foo".phpPackage = myPhp;
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### Example usage with `nix-shell`
|
||
|
|
||
|
This brings up a temporary environment that contains a PHP interpreter
|
||
|
with the extensions `imagick` and `opcache` enabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
nix-shell -p 'php.buildEnv { extensions = e: with e; [ imagick opcache ]; }'
|
||
|
```
