Software Collections (php81 / php82 / php83)

Version 8.4.0alpha1 has been released. It's still in development and will enter soon in the stabilization phase for the developers, and the test phase for the users (see the schedule).

RPM of this upcoming version of PHP 8.4, are available in remi repository for Fedora ≥ 38 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, CentOS, Alma, Rocky...) in a fresh new Software Collection (php84) allowing its installation beside the system version.

As I (still) strongly believe in SCL's potential to provide a simple way to allow installation of various versions simultaneously, and as I think it is useful to offer this feature to allow developers to test their applications, to allow sysadmin to prepare a migration or simply to use this version for some specific application, I decide to create this new SCL.

I also plan to propose this new version as a Fedora 42 change (as F41 should be released a few weeks before PHP 8.4.0).

Installation :

yum install php84

To be noticed:

• the SCL is independent from the system and doesn't alter it
• this SCL is available in remi-safe repository (or remi for Fedora)
• installation is under the /opt/remi/php84 tree, configuration under the /etc/opt/remi/php84 tree
• the FPM service (php84-php-fpm) is available, listening on /var/opt/remi/php84/run/php-fpm/www.sock
• the php84 command gives simple access to this new version, however, the module or scl command is still the recommended way.
• for now, the collection provides 8.4.0-alpha1, and alpha/beta/RC versions will be released in the next weeks
• some of the PECL extensions are already available, see the extensions status page
• tracking issue #258 can be used to follow the work in progress on RPMS of PHP and extensions
• the php84-syspaths package allows to use it as the system's default version

Also, read other entries about SCL especially the description of My PHP workstation.

$ module load php84
$ php --version
PHP 8.4.0alpha1 (cli) (built: Jul  2 2024 13:43:13) (NTS gcc x86_64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.4.0-dev, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.4.0alpha1, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

As always, your feedback is welcome on the tracking ticket, a SCL dedicated forum is also open.

Base packages (php)

Software Collections (php81 / php82 / php83)

RC4 was GOLD, so version 8.4.1 GA was just released, at the planned date.

A great thanks to Eric Mann, Calvin Buckley and Saki Takamachi, our Release Managers, to all developers who have contributed to this new, long-awaited version of PHP, and to all testers of the RC versions who have allowed us to deliver a good-quality version.

RPMs are available in the php:remi-8.4 module for Fedora and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 and as Software Collection in the remi-safe repository.

Read the PHP 8.4.1 Release Announcement and its Addendum for new features and detailed description.

For memory, this is the result of 6 months of work for me to provide these packages, starting in July for Software Collections of alpha versions, in September for module streams of RC versions, and also a lot of work on extensions to provide a mostly full PHP 8.4 stack.

Installation: read the Repository configuration and choose installation mode, or follow the Configuration Wizard instructions.

Replacement of default PHP by version 8.4 installation (simplest):

Fedora modular or Enterprise Linux:

dnf module reset php
dnf module install php:remi-8.4

Parallel installation of version 8.4 as Software Collection (recommended for tests):

yum install php84

To be noticed :

• EL-10 RPMs are built using RHEL-10.0-beta
• EL-9 RPMs are built using RHEL-9.5
• EL-8 RPMs are built using RHEL-8.10
• This version will also be the default version in Fedora 42
• Many extensions are already available, see the PECL extension RPM status page.

Software Collections (php82, php83, php84)

Base packages (php)

Here is a quick howto upgrade default PHP version provided on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux or other clones with latest version 8.4.

You can also follow the Wizard instructions.

Architectures:

The repository is available for x86_64 (Intel/AMD) and aarch64 (ARM).

Repositories configuration:

On Fedora, standards repositories are enough, on Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS) the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) and Code Ready Builder (CRB) repositories must be configured.

Fedora 41

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-41.rpm

Fedora 40

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-40.rpm

RHEL version 10.0-Beta

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-10.rpm
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-10-x86_64-rpms

RHEL version 9.5

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-9.rpm
crb install

Alma, Rocky version 8

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
crb install

PHP module usage

With Fedora and EL, you can simply use the remi-8.4 stream of the php module

With Fedora 41 (dnf5 has partial module support)

dnf module reset php
dnf module enable php:remi-8.4
dnf install php-cli php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml

Other distributions (dnf4)

dnf module switch-to php:remi-8.4/common

PHP upgrade

By choice, the packages have the same name as in the distribution, so a simple update is enough:

dnf update

That's all :)

$ php -v
PHP 8.4.2 (cli) (built: Dec 17 2024 15:31:31) (NTS gcc x86_64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Built by Remi's RPM repository  #StandWithUkraine
Zend Engine v4.4.2, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.4.2, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Known issues

The upgrade can fail (by design) when some installed extensions are not yet compatible with  PHP 8.4.

See the compatibility tracking list: PECL extensions RPM status

If these extensions are not mandatory, you can remove them before the upgrade, otherwise, you must be patient.

Warning: some extensions are still under development, but it seems useful to provide them to upgrade more people and allow users to give feedback to the authors.

More information

If you prefer to install PHP 8.4 beside the default PHP version, this can be achieved using the php84 prefixed packages, see the PHP 8.4 as Software Collection post.

You can also try the configuration wizard.

The packages available in the repository were used as sources for Fedora 42.

By providing a full feature PHP stack, with about 150 available extensions, 11 PHP versions, as base and SCL packages, for Fedora and Enterprise Linux, and with 300 000 downloads per day, the remi repository became in the last 19 years a reference for PHP users on RPM based distributions, maintained by an active contributor to the projects (Fedora, PHP, PECL...).

I just moved all my web sites to a new server.

If you read this entry, DNS have done their work, and you are connected to this new server.

The low-cost server hosting my repository was 4 years old and had performance issues (permanent very high load, especially after an update, during mirrors sync).

For information:

Old server installed in 2020:

• Hosting: Ikoula (Paypal allowed)
• Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v6 @ 3.00GHz
• Cores: 4
• Bench: 5516
• Memory: 8 GiB
• Disk: 1 TB (ssd)
• System: Alma Linux 8.10
• Repositories: EPEL + remi + remi-test + remi-modular

New server:

• Hosting: Ikoula (Paypal allowed)
• Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-14100F @ 3.50GHz
• Cores: 8
• Bench: 15046
• Memory: 32 GiB
• Disk: 2x1 TB (nvme)
• System: Rocky Linux 9.5
• Repositories: EPEL + remi + remi-test + remi-modular

See CPU benchmarks comparaison.

For any problem, please report an issue.

Performance seems really better, thanks to CPU, memory, and faster disks.

The "Donate" button (in the upper right corner) is for those who want to contribute to its financing (~520€/year is slightly more expensive than the previous one).

RPMs of PHP version 8.4.2 are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora ≥ 39 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, Alma, CentOS, Rocky...).

RPMs of PHP version 8.3.15 are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora ≥ 39 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, Alma, CentOS, Rocky...).

RPMs of PHP version 8.2.27 are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora ≥ 39 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, Alma, CentOS, Rocky...).

The packages are available for x86_64 and aarch64.

There is no security fix this month, so no update for version 8.1.31.

PHP version 8.0 has reached its end of life and is no longer maintained by the PHP project.

These versions are also available as Software Collections in the remi-safe repository.
