How to list all php extensions possible to be installed?
by debianfella from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6D318)
Hello, nice to discover this forum :)
I use Ubuntu server version 22.10 with GNU bash, version 5.2.2
This machine is a Virtual Private Server Environment (VPSE) machine, that I SSH into.
On that VPSE I am ought to establish a Apache-MySQL-PHP environment with Composer and PHPMyAdmin.
Composer and PHPMyAdmin and perhaps some other PHP oriented programs require me to install a few PHP extensions.
I would like to read what are all of the PHP extensions that are possible to be downloaded with the apt command.
Some PHP extensions that are possible to be downloaded with the apt command are named php-SOMETHING such as php-curl or php-cli, but if I am not mistaken some aren't, such as gettext or libapache2-mod-php.
In man apt I have found the list option but it is about installed packages or upgradeable packages, not about downloadable packages (let along not in the context of PHP).
My question is, where could I read a list containing the names of all PHP extensions that can be downloaded with the apt command, whether their name starts with php- or not?
Thanks !
