Linux – Ubuntu install php5-ffmpeg

ffmpeglinuxPHPphp5Ubuntu

When I try to install php5-ffmpeg:

apt-get install php5-ffmpeg

I get an error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 php5-ffmpeg : Depends: phpapi-20090626+lfs

As I understand my php5-ffmpeg was broken when I upgraded php from 5.3 to 5.4.

How can I fix it? I tried some options like -f, -ingnore-dependencies but that did not fix it.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.

First try to resolve dependency using below PPA but this version is End Of Life, recommended to upgrade php-5.6

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable
sudo apt-get update

Then 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media   
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

Download php-ffmpeg from http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ and extract.

cd ffmpeg-php-<version>
./configure
make 
sudo make

Edit php.ini file and add this end of file : 

extension=ffmpeg.so

Last week I successfully installed this extension on centos 6
