My PHP-based application is now reporting the following:
- Warning The optional module, exif, is not installed, or has been disabled.
- Warning The optional module, imagick, is not installed, or has been disabled.
- Warning The optional module, zip, is not installed, or has been disabled.
From an earlier message about another (different) missing module, I know that the resolution is to do a "yum install" of the package that supplies the required module -- which will install the required .so file into /opt/freeware/lib/php/modules -- and stop/start Apache.
From
https://www.php.net/manual/en/exif.installation.php I know that to enable exif support PHP must be configured with
--enable-exif but this does not appear to have been done for the current version of php (i.e. I would expect to see an available "php-exif.ppc" package):
# yum list php*Installed Packagesphp.ppc 7.4.13-2 @AIX_Toolboxphp-common.ppc 7.4.13-2 @AIX_Toolboxphp-gd.ppc 7.4.13-2 @AIX_Toolboxphp-mysqlnd.ppc 7.4.13-2 @AIX_Toolboxphp-pdo.ppc 7.4.13-2 @AIX_ToolboxAvailable Packagesphp-cli.ppc 7.4.13-2 AIX_Toolbox php-devel.ppc 7.4.13-2 AIX_Toolbox php-fpm.ppc 7.4.13-2 AIX_ToolboxFrom
https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php I know that imagick is the PHP ImageMagick extention, but even after installing ImageMagick this extension does not appear to be available:
# find /opt/freeware -name *magick* -print/opt/freeware/bin/magick/opt/freeware/bin/magick-script/opt/freeware/lib64/ImageMagick-7.0.11/modules-Q16HDRI/coders/magick.a/opt/freeware/lib64/ImageMagick-7.0.11/modules-Q16HDRI/coders/magick.la/opt/freeware/man/man1/magick-script.1/opt/freeware/man/man1/magick.1Finally, I'm not sure why I'm getting the message about zip not being installed, because (as noted above) I am running with the level of PHP that provides zlib support.
Could you please add exif and imagick support to the next update of PHP? Thanks!

We updated php with zlib functionality. The version is 7.4.13-2.
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/php/
You can also use yum to update to it.
The modules are part of php-common package.

@Ayappan P Just wondering when the next update will be, so I can tell my customer (who is asking about progress on PHP zlib availability in AIX Toolbox.
Days?
Weeks?
Months?

Toolbox php is not compiled with zlib support.
We will add the support in next update.

I am seeing 'ERROR "Call to undefined function: gzinflate()"' messages in my error_log.
The googles tell me that my server is missing the standard php compile install of zlib. Here's what I do have:
# rpm -qa | grep zlib
zlib-1.2.11-2.ppc
# rpm -qa | grep php
php-7.4.13-1.ppc
php-common-7.4.13-1.ppc
php-mysqlnd-7.4.13-1.ppc
php-pdo-7.4.13-1.ppc
https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=php7-zlib (and other sites like it) tell me there are various php7-zlib packages available... but (apparently) not in the AIX Toolbox:
# yum list | egrep "zlib|php" |sort
php-cli.ppc 7.4.13-1 AIX_Toolbox
php-common.ppc 7.4.13-1 @AIX_Toolbox
php-devel.ppc 7.4.13-1 AIX_Toolbox
php-fpm.ppc 7.4.13-1 AIX_Toolbox
php-gd.ppc 7.4.13-1 AIX_Toolbox
php-mysqlnd.ppc 7.4.13-1 @AIX_Toolbox
php-pdo.ppc 7.4.13-1 @AIX_Toolbox
php.ppc 7.4.13-1 @AIX_Toolbox
zlib-devel.ppc 1.2.11-2 AIX_Toolbox
zlib.ppc 1.2.11-2 @AIX_Toolbox
How does one get php zlib functionality from the AIX Toolbox?
