Ansible Role: PHP PEAR Packages

This role installs PHP PEAR packages on servers that already have PHP and php-pear set up.

Requirements

Make sure PHP and php-pear (or a similar package) are already installed on the server so that the pear command can be used.

Role Variables

Here are the available variables, including their default values (check defaults/main.yml for more details):

• php_pear_channels:

  • Default: empty list ([]). These are the PEAR channels to search for libraries you want to install. PEAR doesn’t automatically find these channels, so you need to list them manually.

• php_pear_libraries:

  • Default: empty list ([]). These are the libraries/extensions you want to install using PEAR.

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.php
