Downloading PECL extensions

Warning

PECL is deprecated. PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) replaces PECL and is recommended to install extensions. Find out more at » https://github.com/php/pie

There are several options for downloading PECL extensions, such as:

  • The pecl install extname command downloads the extensions code automatically, so in this case, there is no need for a separate download.

  • » https://pecl.php.net/

    The PECL website contains information about the different extensions that are offered by the PHP Development Team. The information available here includes: changelog, release notes, requirements, and other similar details.

  • pecl download extname

    PECL extensions that have releases listed on the PECL website are available for download and installation using the » pecl command. Specific revisions may also be specified.

  • git

    Many PECL extensions reside on GitHub.

  • SVN

    Some PECL extensions also reside in SVN. A web-based view may be seen at » https://svn.php.net/pecl/. To download straight from SVN, the following sequence of commands may be used:

    $ svn checkout https://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/extname/trunk extname
    
  • Windows downloads

    The PHP project compiles and offers Windows DLLs for most PECL extensions on the package page.
