Originally developed by Rasmus Lerdorf, a Danish-Canadian developer, PHP<\/a> is a server-side scripting language that is geared towards the development of both dynamic and static webpages. PHP is a recursive acronym for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor but was initially an acronym for Personal Home Page. Currently, two PHP releases are receiving active support – PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0.<\/p>\n

The most current and stable release is PHP 8.0. It was released on Nov 16, 2020, and enjoys support until 2023provides improvements and enhancements<\/a> such as named arguments, null safe operator, union types, JIT (Just In Type) compiler, and improvements in consistency and error-handling.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate the installation of PHP 8.0 on Debian \/ Linux Mint.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Update the system<\/strong><\/p>\n

To get off the ground, we are going to update the package list of the system.<\/p>\n

$ sudo apt update<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Once updated, install the dependencies required.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install software-properties-common ca-certificates lsb_release apt-transport-https<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Step 2: Enable the Sury APT repository<\/strong><\/p>\n
The next step is to add the SURY repository<\/a> to our system. SURY is a third-party PHP repository that packages PHP packages for Debian. To add the repository, run the command<\/p>\n
$ sudo sh -c 'echo \"deb https:\/\/packages.sury.org\/php\/ $(lsb_release -sc) main\" > \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/php.list'<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Next, import the repository\u2019s GPG key.<\/p>\n
$ wget -qO - https:\/\/packages.sury.org\/php\/apt.gpg | sudo apt-key add -<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 3: Install PHP 8.0<\/strong><\/p>\n
To install PHP 8.0, update the package lists to sync with the newly added SURY repository<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt update<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Then install PHP 8.0 on Debian Buster as follows.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install php8.0<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Once installed, verify the PHP release installed:<\/p>\n
$ php -v<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Additionally, you can install PHP extensions using the syntax:<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install php-extension<\/strong><\/pre>\n
If you are installing multiple extensions, specify them inside the curly braces as shown. In this example, we are installing the php-cli, php-mbstring, php-xml, php-common, php-ldap <\/strong> the php-curl <\/strong>extensions.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install php8.0-{cli,mbstring,xml,common,ldap,curl}<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
And that\u2019s how to install PHP 8.0 on Debian 10. We wish you an eventful time in your web development!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
