Ubuntu – How to install php-xml and php-mbstring on PHP 5.4.9-4

PHPphp5Ubuntu

I have added the PHP5 to UBUNTU 12.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5 -y

and installed the PHP5

php5 php5-common php5-mysql php5-xmlrpc php5-cgi php5-curl php5-gd php5-cli php5-fpm php-apc php-pear php5-dev php5-imap php5-mcrypt

However I can't find two packages

php-xml and php-mbstring

Any idea how they are called now?

Many Thanks,

You should check the package description for PHP from that repo.

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Source: php5
....
 Description: ...
 The following extensions are built in: bcmath bz2 calendar Core ctype date
 dba dom ereg exif fileinfo filter ftp gettext hash iconv json libxml
 mbstring mhash openssl pcre Phar posix Reflection session shmop SimpleXML
 soap sockets SPL standard sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm tokenizer wddx xml
 xmlreader xmlwriter zip zlib.

Note that mbstring and xml are built in according to the description.

Your custom-compiled PHP should have installed pecl, and configured it properly.

Have you tried running "pecl install apc"?

If your system is not finding pecl, it's probable that you used some funny --prefix when you ./configure'd PHP.

For instance, if you compiled php like this:

$ ./configure --prefix=/foo
$ make
# make install

then you'll either want to get /foo/bin into $PATH, or you could just run

$ /foo/bin/pecl install apc

EDIT: Now I remember: try pecl install apc-beta. Something is screwy with 5.3.3 and non-beta APC. My experience is apc-beta works fine.
