How to Install and Uninstall PECL Extensions for Multiple PHP Versions
This article explains how to use PECL with the -d php_suffix and -r options to install and uninstall the same extension across multiple PHP versions, and also announces an online PHP training class for beginners to advanced learners.
When installing the same PECL extension for multiple PHP versions, PECL may report a duplicate installation.
Solution:
1. Install the extension
sudo pecl -d php_suffix=8.0 install <package>The -d php_suffix= option specifies the PHP command suffix, e.g., -d php_suffix=8.0 refers to php8.0.
2. Uninstall the extension sudo pecl uninstall -r <package> Adding the -r flag prevents removal of the installed .so file.
Repeating the above steps allows successful installation of the same extension for other PHP versions.
