org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.php83

This extension adds PHP support to Flatpak.

PHP installs to /usr/lib/sdk/php83 inside the sandbox.

Example Visual Studio Code Configuration

"php.validate.executablePath": "/usr/lib/sdk/php83/bin/php",
"php.executablePath": "/usr/lib/sdk/php83/bin/php",

Includes

• php
• composer
• PHIVE
• apcu
• xdebug

Each Flatpak can have its own custom php configuration files. e.g. for Visual Studio Code ~/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/config/php/8.3/ini/my-custom.ini or /var/config/php/8.3/ini/my-custom.ini from a sandboxed shell.

Global composer installs are limited to the Flatpak they were installed in.

Troubleshooting

/usr/bin/env: ‘php’: No such file or directory

Run . /usr/lib/sdk/php83/enable.sh or add /usr/lib/sdk/php83/bin to your $PATH.
