[SOLVED] How do I get PHP to create extensions?

[UnclePa]

I'm probably missing something simple. I have

/etc/portage/package.use/php: dev-lang/php apache2 fpm curl gd json pdo sqlite

and make.conf has: PHP_TARGETS="php7-3"

but the extensions aren't being created. E.g. there is no "curl.so" anywhere on my system. PHP installs and runs fine otherwise from CL, nginx or apache, but cannot load the extensions. I have uncommented the essential extensions (just curl and pdo for now) in all the php.ini files.

After changing make.conf according to the wiki php page, I did
emerge --ask --update --changed-use --deep @world
as instructed but it said nothing needed done. I emerged php again and checked to make sure the above flags are indeed on and again changed the php.ini files but still no extensions.

I would say, that you did not configure /etc/conf.d/apache2 file.
PHP must be enabled in line

Code: Select all

APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP"

Thanks, but I do have that. This doesn't really have anything to do with apache or nginx--it has the same behavior even from the command line (e.g. "php -a").

Code: Select all

$ php -a

It looks like it works differently in Gentoo from what I'm accustomed to. Apparently I don't need to change the php.ini files to load the extensions. I suppose either they aren't actually extensions any more or they are loaded automatically somehow.

I was just having a look on my php-installation, it'd seem that the extensions is built into the executable (https://superuser.com/questions/108617/ ... ver/108618)

phpinfo on my server reports cURL enabled just fine.
