Seems pretty smart to me, tbh.
The only problem is that $myPackages is constant, so already includes the
"7.4" values from $php_version. You'll need to declare a new list (because
you can't change variables) inside your .each block.
$php_remove.each | String $php_str_remove | {
$myRemovePackages = [
"php${php_str_remove}-xml",
"php${php_str_remove}-zip",
"php${php_str_remove}-curl",
"php${php_str_remove}-mbstring",
"libapache2-mod-php${php_str_remove}",
]
ensure_packages($myRemovePackages,
{
'ensure' => 'absent',
} )
}
}
