PHP and Http Extension

PHP and Http Extension

Recently I am testing the performance for PHP. I just saw a very ‘easy’ exceptions say http\Url class not found. I was thinking it is easy to fix this and it is just a typo or wrong name.

But I am wrong, it is related to this extension in PHP https://mdref.m6w6.name/ It is PECL/http

First of all, I am using CentOS7, I am using PHP5.6, I am using docker. That brings a lot of environment setting up issues for me.

Here is the Dockerfile, that is the most important things to build the ENV.
#Run a Simple REST API based on playframework

#Prepre the OS

#install php5.6
RUN rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
RUN rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm

RUN yum install -y php56w-mysqlnd
RUN yum install -y php56w-common
RUN yum install -y php56w-devel
RUN yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56 install -y php-pear

RUN yum install -y php56-php-raphf

#set up php
ADD conf/php.ini /etc/php.ini

RUN echo "usr/\n" | pecl install pecl_http-2.5.6

#Install the Application
RUN mkdir /share/
WORKDIR /share/
ADD dist/jobs-consumerphp-1.0.tgz /share/
RUN mkdir -p /share/jobs-consumerphp-1.0/logs

#Start the Application
RUN mkdir -p /app/
RUN mkdir -p /tmp/awscache
ADD start.sh /app/
WORKDIR /app
CMD [ "./start.sh" ]

And remember that I have these lines in order in php.ini to make it working.
extension=iconv.so
extension=raphf.so
extension=propro.so
extension=http.so
