php Cookbook

Installs and configures PHP 5.3 and the PEAR package management system. Also includes LWRPs for managing PEAR (and PECL) packages along with PECL channels.

Requirements

Platforms

• Debian, Ubuntu
• CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora, Amazon Linux
• Microsoft Windows

Cookbooks

• build-essential
• xml
• mysql

These cookbooks are only used when building PHP from source.

Attributes

• node['php']['install_method'] = method to install php with, default package.
• node['php']['directives'] = Hash of directives and values to append to php.ini, default {}.

The file also contains the following attribute types:

• platform specific locations and settings.
• source installation settings

Resource/Provider

This cookbook includes LWRPs for managing:

• PEAR channels
• PEAR/PECL packages

php_pear_channel

PEAR Channels are alternative sources for PEAR packages. This LWRP provides and easy way to manage these channels.

Actions

• :discover: Initialize a channel from its server.
• :add: Add a channel to the channel list, usually only used to add private channels. Public channels are usually added using the :discover action
• :update: Update an existing channel
• :remove: Remove a channel from the List

Attribute Parameters

• channel_name: name attribute. The name of the channel to discover
• channel_xml: the channel.xml file of the channel you are adding

Examples

# discover the horde channel
php_pear_channel "pear.horde.org" do
  action :discover
end

# download xml then add the symfony channel
remote_file "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/symfony-channel.xml" do
  source "http://pear.symfony-project.com/channel.xml"
  mode 0644
end
php_pear_channel "symfony" do
  channel_xml "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/symfony-channel.xml"
  action :add
end

# update the main pear channel
php_pear_channel 'pear.php.net' do
  action :update
end

# update the main pecl channel
php_pear_channel 'pecl.php.net' do
  action :update
end

php_pear

PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. PECL is a repository for PHP Extensions. PECL contains C extensions for compiling into PHP. As C programs, PECL extensions run more efficiently than PEAR packages. PEARs and PECLs use the same packaging and distribution system. As such this LWRP is clever enough to abstract away the small differences and can be used for managing either. This LWRP also creates the proper module .ini file for each PECL extension at the correct location for each supported platform.

Actions

• :install: Install a pear package - if version is provided, install that specific version
• :upgrade: Upgrade a pear package - if version is provided, upgrade to that specific version
• :remove: Remove a pear package
• :purge: Purge a pear package (this usually entails removing configuration files as well as the package itself). With pear packages this behaves the same as :remove

Attribute Parameters

• package_name: name attribute. The name of the pear package to install
• version: the version of the pear package to install/upgrade. If no version is given latest is assumed.
• preferred_state: PEAR by default installs stable packages only, this allows you to install pear packages in a devel, alpha or beta state
• directives: extra extension directives (settings) for a pecl. on most platforms these usually get rendered into the extension's .ini file
• zend_extensions: extension filenames which should be loaded with zend_extension.
• options: Add additional options to the underlying pear package command

Examples

# upgrade a pear
php_pear "XML_RPC" do
  action :upgrade
end


# install a specific version
php_pear "XML_RPC" do
  version "1.5.4"
  action :install
end


# install the mongodb pecl
php_pear "mongo" do
  action :install
end

# install the xdebug pecl
php_pear "xdebug" do
  # Specify that xdebug.so must be loaded as a zend extension
  zend_extensions ['xdebug.so']
  action :install
end


# install apc pecl with directives
php_pear "apc" do
  action :install
  directives(:shm_size => 128, :enable_cli => 1)
end


# install the beta version of Horde_Url
# from the horde channel
hc = php_pear_channel "pear.horde.org" do
  action :discover
end
php_pear "Horde_Url" do
  preferred_state "beta"
  channel hc.channel_name
  action :install
end


# install the YAML pear from the symfony project
sc = php_pear_channel "pear.symfony-project.com" do
  action :discover
end
php_pear "YAML" do
  channel sc.channel_name
  action :install
end

Recipes

default

Include the default recipe in a run list, to get php. By default php is installed from packages but this can be changed by using the install_method attribute.

package

This recipe installs PHP from packages.

source

This recipe installs PHP from source.

Deprecated Recipes

The following recipes are deprecated and will be removed from a future version of this cookbook.

• module_apc
• module_curl
• module_fileinfo
• module_fpdf
• module_gd
• module_ldap
• module_memcache
• module_mysql
• module_pgsql
• module_sqlite3

The installation of the php modules in these recipes can now be accomplished by installing from a native package or via the new php_pear LWRP. For example, the functionality of the module_memcache recipe can be enabled in the following ways:

# using apt
package "php5-memcache" do
  action :install
end

# using pear LWRP
php_pear "memcache" do
  action :install
end

Usage

Simply include the php recipe where ever you would like php installed. To install from source override the node['php']['install_method'] attribute with in a role:

name "php"
description "Install php from source"
override_attributes(
  "php" => {
    "install_method" => "source"
  }
)
run_list(
  "recipe[php]"
)

Development

This section details "quick development" steps. For a detailed explanation, see [[Contributing.md]].

1. Clone this repository from GitHub:

    $ git clone [email protected]:opscode-cookbooks/php.git
   

2. Create a git branch

    $ git checkout -b my_bug_fix
   

3. Install dependencies:

    $ bundle install
   

4. Make your changes/patches/fixes, committing appropiately

5. Write tests

6. Run the tests:

   • bundle exec foodcritic -f any .
   • bundle exec rspec
   • bundle exec rubocop
   • bundle exec kitchen test

In detail: - Foodcritic will catch any Chef-specific style errors - RSpec will run the unit tests - Rubocop will check for Ruby-specific style errors - Test Kitchen will run and converge the recipes
