Remi's RPM repository - Blog

Here is a quick howto upgrade default PHP version provided on Fedora, RHEL or CentOS with latest version 7.3.

With PHP 7.3 entering stabilization phase, time to check the status of most commonly used PHP extensions (at least, the ones available in my repository).

Here is the exhaustive list.

QA is a very important part of my daily work, and since PHP 7.2 is available in Fedora rawhide, we have to ensure everything works as expected with this new version.

Version 7.2.0RC1 is released. It's now enter the stabilisation phase for the developpers, and the test phase for the users.

RPM are available in the remi-php72 repository for Fedora ≥ 25 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 6 (RHEL, CentOS) and as Software Collection in the remi-safe repository (or remi for Fedora)

Point of the situation with the development of zip extension version 1.14.0 which implements support of encrypted archives.

RC6 was GOLD, so version 7.1.0 GA is just released, at planed date.

A great thanks to all developers who have contributed to this new major and long awaiting version of PHP and thanks to all testers of the RC versions who have allowed us to deliver a good quality version.

RPM are available in the remi-php71 repository for Fedora ≥ 23 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 6 (RHEL, CentOS) and as Software Collection in the remi-safe repository.

Announcement: Red Hat Software Collections 2.3 now beta

I've just open the remi-php71 repository for Fedora ≥ 23 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 6.

PHP 7.1 introduce a new check during conversion of string to number.

I often read questions about how to use an old PHP version on Fedora (which have 7.0) or a more recent version on  RHEL / CentOS (which have 5.4).

A developer using PHP often need to test his work with various versions. So here is a description of the Workstation I use daily.
