Is there any command to enable/disable a php extension from command line?

Question

Is there any command to enable/disable a php extension easily from command line? (php.ini)

Answer 1

If you are using PHP5.4+ on Debian based distro you can use php5enmod to enable and php5dismod to disable PHP extensions.

Answer 2

You can enable an extension from the command line using:

php -d extension=/path/to/extension.so

-d is used to pass ini values via the command line. Unfortunately there is no way to disable an extension on the command line if it has been configured in the php.ini file. (You can follow the other answers of course but there is nothing you can do using -d or whatever option of the php command.)

Answer 3

On Lubuntu I needed pdo_sqlite.

Enable manually:

$ sudo php5enmod pdo_sqlite

If doesn't work check:

$ ls /etc/php5/mods-available

The result list was missing pdo_sqlite.ini. We have to install it.

$ sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite

Or for php7:

$ sudo apt-get install php7-sqlite3

Extension sqlite3 is auto-enabled in CLI and in Apache during installation process, and now we have mods-available: pdo_sqlite.ini, sqlite3.ini.

Disable extension with:

$ sudo php5dismod pdo_sqlite

Answer 4

You have to use -n and then to append each needed extension using -dextension

Example:

php -n -dextension=json.so -dextension=phar.so composer.phar update

Answer 5

You can specify -n to avoid any extensions loading from php.ini. This can improve some performance when you're using some (e.g. XDebug). E.g.

php -n -r "phpinfo();"

Answer 6

usage: phpenmod [ -v ALL|php_version ] [ -s ALL|sapi_name ] module_name [ module_name_2 ]

So use phpenmod -s cli yourextension

Answer 7

You can simply use

sed -i.bkp 's/^extension=x.so/# extension=x.so/' /path/of/php.ini && /etc/init.d/httpd reload

-i.bkp take backup as php.php.bkp and write in to original file

&& if first command is success then reload httpd service.

but I just notice that sed giving exit status 0 when search patter not match so you can use

php_ini=/path/of/php.ini
__module=x.so
grep -q "^extension=$__module" $php_ini && { 
        sed -i.bkp "s/^extension=$__module/# extension=$__module/" $php_ini && 
        echo /etc/init.d/httpd reload; } || echo "cannot make requested change"

Or you can use below script for the enable and disable :

#!/bin/bash

php_ini=/path/of/php.ini
__module="$2"


[[ ! -f $php_ini ]] && { echo "Error: Can not found $php_ini" >&2; 
                         echo "Please define php.ini path in $php_ini"; 
                         exit 1; }

[[  -z $__module ]] && { echo "Error: Please Type Module Name:" >&2; 
                          exit 1; }

show_help(){
cat <<_EOF
        Usage:    To enable :
                  $0 -ie  <modulename>

                  To disable :
                  $0 -id  <modulename>

        example:
                  $0 -i xyz.so
_EOF

}

do_enable() {
grep -Eq "# extension=$__module$" $php_ini && {
sed -i.bkp "s/^# extension\=$__module$/extension=$__module/" $php_ini &&
echo /etc/init.d/httpd reload; echo "Changes Successfully Done"; } || echo "cannot make requested change"
}

do_disable() {
grep -q "^extension=$__module" $php_ini && {
sed -i.bkp "s/^extension=$__module/# extension=$__module/" $php_ini &&
echo /etc/init.d/httpd reload; echo "Changes Successfully Done"; } || echo "cannot make requested change"
}

Main() {

case $1 in
        -ie) do_enable ;;
        -id) do_disable ;;
         *) show_help ;;
esac
}

Main $*
