Ansible Role for PHP

Installs, configures and extends the PHP programming language on Ubuntu servers. Multiple versions of PHP can be installed simultaneously on the same server.

Requirements

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

Only supported versions of PHP are tested to work with this role on long-term support versions of Ubuntu that still receive standard support.

Role Variables

A description of the settable variables for this role should go here with their default values, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.

php_version: 8.2

The version of PHP that you want to install.

---

php_mod_enabled: []

The PHP modules (extensions) that you want to enable in addition to the modules that are enabled by default, for example:

php_mod_enabled:
  - intl
  - mysql
  - xml

---

php_mod_disabled: []

The PHP modules (extensions) that you want to disable in addition to the modules that are disabled by default, for example:

php_mod_disabled:
  - shmop
  - sockets
  - dom

---

php_ini_cli: []

The PHP initialization settings for the command-line, for example:

php_ini_cli:
  - name: allow_url_fopen
    value: Off
  - name: memory_limit
    value: -1
  - name: date.timezone
    value: "Africa/Johannesburg"

---

php_ini_apache: []

The PHP initialization settings for the Apache web server module for PHP, for example:

  - name: upload_max_filesize
    value: 32M
  - name: max_file_uploads

If you set initialization values for Apache, the role will assume that Apache is installed and will attempt to restart Apache after setting them. If Apache is not installed, the role will fail.
