Hi, Yocto was sticking to a single PHP series for the lifetime of one release, which may or may not be applicable to a specific application.
Because of this, I have been maintaining multiple PHP versions for a long time to satisfy such applications that we developed in-house. These recipes are prefixed with phpNN where NN is the PHP major version without the dot. These recipes are now public at https://github.com/zboszor/meta-parallel-php These PHP builds are much closer to Red Hat / Fedora than the recipes in Yocto, as in PHP modules are mostly built as shared modules. Yocto versions 3.4 Honister and newer are supported. PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 are only supported in the honister branch. These old versions cannot be built in kirkstone or later, mostly due to the "icu" changes in Yocto. PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 are supported in all branches. External module recipes are also available, in some cases : phpNN-pecl-crack phpNN-pecl-inotify phpNN-pecl-mcrypt (for PHP 7.2 and up) phpNN-nano phpNN-pecl-ncurses phpNN-pecl-pam phpNN-posix-realtime phpNN-screw phpNN-pecl-sodium (for PHP 7.0 and 7.1 only, this module is in PHP 7.2+) phpNN-pecl-ssh2 phpNN-pecl-timezonedb phpNN-pecl-xdebug These recipes use the parallel-php-module.bbclass to execute phpizeNN ; ./configure ; make for the build. To make one specific PHP series the default, i.e. to provide the php, pear, etc. names, the phpNN-symlinks package can be installed. These symlinks are using the alternatives symlinks with the NN number used as priority. php.ini and php-fpm configuration files are not included, similarly to the Yocto php recipe. Versioned recipes for composer are also available in both native and target builds. Only one of the target builds may be installed at a time, though. Another class called parallel-php-native.bbclass is also available that allows using phpNN-native and the corresponding composer-phpNN-native during the build of PHP apps that use "composer install". Practically, it's a very small subset of what https://rpms.remirepo.net/ is doing. Comments, issues and PRs on my github repo is welcome. Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi
