HTTP extension in PHP

Support

Hello, 

I'm working with PHP in a core Turnkey, but I'm needing pecl_php to make HttpRequest from my php files. I noted that this library or extension doesn't come with PHP, but is not installed and I'm having issues to install it. Any help with this.

Regards,

Didzan

It's in the repos

First update your local package list from the repos:
apt-get update
Then you can search the repos with apt-cache; like this:
apt-cache search --names-only php pecl
And that tells you that the name is php5-pecl-http so install with apt-get, like this:
apt-get install php5-pecl-http

Good morning,

Thanks for your help. But I search with

apt-cache search --names-only php pecl

and didn't show me anything.

I also ran 

apt-get install php5-pecl-http

and shows this: E: Unable to locate package php5-pecl-http.

 

Any idea why I'm getting this?

A little more info. I get

A little more info. I get this when I was installing:

pecl install pecl_php

ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/pecl_http/configure --with-http-zlib-dir=/usr --with-http-libcurl-dir=/usr --with-http-libevent-dir=/usr --with-http-libidn-dir=/usr' failed

Did you run apt-get update first?

Are you using v14.0? Does your server have internet access? If the answer to both of your questions is yes and my above commands don't work then something is seriously wrong!

On TKL v14.0 Core:

apt-get update
