The following explains how to install PHP 7.0, from source, without uninstalling your current PHP. I used this in a development and continuous integration machine, so i can test both PHP 5.6 or PHP 7.x, ensuring our apps are php7 ready. As i am using Apache + Mod_php for PHP 5, i will use FPM for PHP 7 so nothing is fkdup in the apache+php5 realm.
Step by step (Linux, CentOS 6.x):
- Download PHP 7.0 tar.gz source
- Expand (tar zxvf php-7.0.0.tar.gz)
- Inside the new source folder type “./configure –help” : this will show all the configuration options such as:
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems. Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]... To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables. Defaults for the options are specified in brackets. Configuration: -h, --help display this help and exit --help=short display options specific to this package --help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages -V, --version display version information and exit -q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking ...' messages --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled] -C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache' -n, --no-create do not create output files --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..'] Installation directories: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [PREFIX] By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. For better control, use the options below. Fine tuning of the installation directories: --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin] --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin] --libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec] --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc] --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com] --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var] --libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib] --includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include] --oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include] --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share] --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR] --infodir=DIR info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info] --localedir=DIR locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale] --mandir=DIR man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man] --docdir=DIR documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/PACKAGE] --htmldir=DIR html documentation [DOCDIR] --dvidir=DIR dvi documentation [DOCDIR] --pdfdir=DIR pdf documentation [DOCDIR] --psdir=DIR ps documentation [DOCDIR] System types: --build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed] --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD] --target=TARGET configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST] Optional Features and Packages: --disable-option-checking ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options --disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no) --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes] --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no) --with-libdir=NAME Look for libraries in .../NAME rather than .../lib --disable-rpath Disable passing additional runtime library search paths --enable-re2c-cgoto Enable -g flag to re2c to use computed goto gcc extension --disable-gcc-global-regs whether to enable GCC global register variables SAPI modules: --with-apxs2=FILE Build shared Apache 2.0 Handler module.

Defaults to the first program found out of: `bison -y', `byacc', `yacc'. YFLAGS The list of arguments that will be passed by default to $YACC. This script will default YFLAGS to the empty string to avoid a default value of `-d' given by some make applications. CXX C++ compiler command CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags CXXCPP C++ preprocessor Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations. Report bugs to the package provider. - Run configure. In my case, i’ve used the following:
./configure --prefix=/opt/php7 --with-gd --enable-fpm --enable-mbstring --with-mysqli --with-curl --with-zlib --enable-zip
(choose your options from the list above and install dependencies using yum or apt or whatever – do not forget the –prefix=… part!).
- After this, the classic
make make test make install
- Run a quick check
/opt/php7/bin/php -v
. This should return something like
PHP 7.0.0 (cli) (built: Dec 4 2015 16:08:37) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
and next?
Next, setup PHP-FPM, change configuration files in apache (mod_proxy, mod_proxy_fcgi, etc – more at apache.org’s php-fpm page) and that’s it!
