PECL makes it easy to create shared PHP extensions. Using the » pecl command, do the following:
$ pecl install extname
This will download the source for extname, compile, and install extname.so into the extension_dir. extname.so may then be loaded via php.ini.
By default, the pecl command will not install packages
that are marked with the alpha or
beta
state.
If no stable packages are available,
a beta package may be installed using the following
command:
$ pecl install extname-beta
A specific version may also be installed using this variant:
$ pecl install extname-0.1
Note:
After enabling the extension in php.ini, restarting the web service is required for the changes to be picked up.

RUN pecl install -D 'with-example-dir="/dir" enable-example-thing="yes"' package
or
RUN pecl install --configureoptions='with-example-dir="/dir" enable-example-thing="yes"' package
Otherwise, docker build might quote the command in a way that pecl doesn't parse correctly, and the build will fail with an error like this one:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_key_exists(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, null given in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Builder.php:397The Arch Linux package that contains PECL is 'php-pear'
# pacman -S php-pearTo compile pecl extensions on Amazon Linux AMIs, follow the tutorial at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html and then install these additional required packages with the following command:
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install php-devel zlib-devel curl-devel gcc
You should then be able to compile pecl extensions; for example, enter the following command to compile the pecl_http extension:
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo pecl install pecl_httpto use the pecl, pear, or phpize commands in fedora, install the php-devel package:
$ yum install php-devel
