Install PHP 7.3.33 on Debian Wheezy

The original scripts try to install PHP 7.4.5, but a basic requirement of bison3 cannot be satisfied by Debian Wheezy, use this branch to get Debian Wheezy + PHP 7.3.33

These are a set of bash scripts for building and running PHP 7.3 (CLI and FPM) on Debian Wheezy based Linux distributions:

build.sh installs the necessary build dependencies and the latest stable version of PHP 7.3.33 with CLI and FPM server APIs (SAPI) from the latest PHP 7.3.33 branch of https://github.com/php/php-src.
install.sh sets up PHP-FPM by moving configuration files into their correct locations in /opt/build/php/7.3 and enables the php7.3-fpm service and adds it to the startup sequence.

Please note that these are very simple scripts that don't implement error checking or process validation.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/gnanet/php-7-debian.git
$ cd php-7-debian
$ git checkout php7.3+deb7
$ ./build.sh
$ sudo ./install.sh

On systems with little amount of RAM such as Raspberry Pi you might want to decrease the number of parallel make jobs by passing the JOB_COUNT variable:

$ JOB_COUNT=1 ./build.sh

The default job count is equal to the number of CPU cores.

The PHP-FPM can be operated using the php7.3-fpm init script:

Usage: /etc/init.d/php7.3-fpm {start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload}

while the FPM socket is available at

127.0.0.1:9007

and PHP CLI at /opt/build/php/7.3/bin/php.

Updating

Pull down the latest changes from this repository git pull and run ./build.sh.

Configuration files

All PHP configuration files are stored under /opt/build/php/7.3:

/opt/build/php/7.3/lib/php.ini

/opt/build/php/7.3/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
/opt/build/php/7.3/etc/conf.d/modules.ini
