Ansible Role: PHP-MySQL

This role installs PHP support for MySQL on Linux systems.

Requirements

No special requirements.

Role Variables

Here are the available variables and their default values (see defaults/main.yml):

php_enablerepo: ""

(Only for RedHat/CentOS) If you have added any extra repositories (like geerlingguy.repo-epel or geerlingguy.repo-remi), you can list them here (e.g. remi,epel). This helps in installing newer versions of PHP packages.

php_mysql_package: php-mysqlnd # for RedHat
php_mysql_package: php8.2-mysql # for Debian

This variable defines the PHP MySQL package to be installed via apt or yum. Change this only if you need a specific MySQL package, like when using software collections on Enterprise Linux or if using an older package name (e.g., php-mysql on RHEL 7).

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.php

Example Playbook
