PHP5.6-dev in Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial

Question

My development machine is on Ubuntu 16.04, and we use php5.6. I followed this guide to install php5.6.

now, I'm trying to install the mongodb PHP driver through PECL, however when I run

pecl install mongodb

this error comes up:

Starting to download mongodb-1.1.8.tgz (806,900 bytes)
.....................................................done: 806,900 bytes
360 source files, building
running: phpize
sh: 1: phpize: not found
ERROR: `phpize' failed

I found out through this question that I have to do

sudo apt-get install php5-dev

however, php5-dev is no longer available, and is apparently not included with ondrej's php5.6 PPA.

What's wrong with `apt-get install php5-mongo`? – Damonsson Sep 06 '16 at 07:09 — Damonsson, Sep 06 '16 at 07:09
It's gone: `Unable to locate package php5-mongo` – Edwin Sep 06 '16 at 07:13 — Edwin, Sep 06 '16 at 07:13

I finally managed to get php5dev installed! It is apparently in ondrej's PPA.

To install it:

sudo apt-get install php5.6-dev

Note the .6 part.
