How to install extension for php via docker-php-ext-install?

Question

In order to resolve an issue, I am now trying install the mysql pdo via

docker-php-ext-install

as pointed out in the README of the php image.

Yet my call fails stating:

Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/src/php/ext/mysqli/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Don't forget to run 'make test'.

This is my Dockerfile:

    cd cphalcon/build && \
    ./install

RUN echo "extension=phalcon.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/phalcon.ini
RUN a2enmod rewrite

and running docker-compose build won't finish.

I had the same problem a while ago. I started a container and typed the ext-install command into this container. Once I found all the dependencies, I wrote them into the Dockerfile.

Example:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
libmcrypt-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) mcrypt

There is a dependency that libmcrypt-dev needed before you can run docker-php-ext-install mcrypt

I've checked my older Dockerfiles and found something which might help you

FROM php:5.6-apache

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        libfreetype6-dev \
        libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
        libmcrypt-dev \
        libpng12-dev \
    libicu-dev \
     libxml2-dev \
    vim \
        wget \
        unzip \
        git \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) iconv intl xml soap mcrypt opcache pdo pdo_mysql mysqli mbstring \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

RUN a2enmod rewrite && mkdir /composer-setup && wget https://getcomposer.org/installer -P /composer-setup && php /composer-setup/installer --install-dir=/usr/bin && rm -Rf /composer-setup && curl -LsS https://symfony.com/installer -o /usr/local/bin/symfony && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/symfony
# Create symlink for default conf
RUN ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf && mkdir /composer-setup && wget https://getcomposer.org/installer -P /composer-setup && php /composer-setup/installer --install-dir=/usr/bin && rm -Rf /composer-setup && curl -LsS https://symfony.com/installer -o /usr/local/bin/symfony && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/symfony

Because of this, I tried running the docker-php-ext-install command inside the container instead of the Dockerfile after a build. And they work just fine there 0.o — k0pernikus, May 30 '16 at 14:31
the Parameter -y is different in your config to mine. apt-get install -y instead of apt-get install vim git -y — Florian, May 30 '16 at 19:55

RUN docker-php-ext-install mbstring pdo pdo_mysql \

That code can do install any extension you want in this case mysql pdp driver but the Dockerfile should have base of FROM php:7.1.8-apache

The `php` images are missing a lot of build tools and dependencies, so you'll need to install the dependencies for building certain extensions yourself. Installing any extension is not as easy as just running `docker-php-ext-install` on them – padarom Mar 07 '19 at 08:23

The 2019 way and probably the 2020 way of installing memcached to your Docker PHP container is the way described on https://hub.docker.com/_/php

FROM php:latest
RUN pecl install memcached \
    && docker-php-ext-enable memcached

FROM php:5.6-cli
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmemcached-dev zlib1g-dev \
    && pecl install memcached-2.2.0 \
    && docker-php-ext-enable memcached

Thanks, this helped me in 2021. To keep up to date, check the docker link, scroll down to "PECL extensions" – Mint Jul 20 '21 at 01:01

Alternatively, you can use this excellent helper to install the needed libs automatically for you.

https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer

You only need to list the extensions you want like this:

FROM php:8.2-fpm-alpine

ADD https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions; \
    install-php-extensions mysqli mysqlnd pdo pdo_mysql zip

Take a look at its GitHub page to see all options available to use.

Seems to be a bug in phpize (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53571).

I added the following to docker-php-ext-configure:

/usr/local/bin # diff -u docker-php-ext-configure.bak docker-php-ext-configure
--- docker-php-ext-configure.bak
+++ docker-php-ext-configure
@@ -54,5 +54,6 @@

 set -x
 cd "$ext"
+[[ ! -f "config.m4" && -f "config0.m4" ]] && mv config0.m4 config.m4
 phpize
 ./configure "$@"
