Ansible Role: PHP

Installs PHP on Ubuntu LTS using The main PPA for PHP.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

PHP version to install:

php_version: '7.4'

PHP extensions to install. Specify naked extension names (i.e. do not include PHP version), for example mbstring:

php_extensions: []

PHP configuration directives. PHP used with Apache and CLI PHP must be configured separately using corresponding variables:

php_configuration: {}
php_cli_configuration: {}

PHP stores it's configuration in INI files. Main php.ini file contains several sections, individual keys (properties) belong to a certain section.

The same pattern applies to the configuration variables. It's a nested dictionary, where the first level represents name of a section. The second level is a dictionary of PHP directives and their values.

Example:

php_configuration:
  Date:
    date.timezone: Europe/Kiev
  PHP:
    memory_limit: 256M
    upload_max_filesize: 64M
    post_max_size: 512M

PHP extensions which use own ini files should be configured using (not all extensions actually do that). Actually some of them uses main php.ini for storing configuration (e.g. opcache):

php_extensions_configuration: {}

This variable follows the same format as main one described above (nested dictionary), except section represent the extension itself.

Example:

php_extensions_configuration:
  ldap:
    ldap.max_links: 5
  xdebug:
    xdebug.mode: 'debug'

Web server daemon. Will be restarted when change in configuration is detected. Defaults to Apache 2:

php_web_server_daemon: apache2

Boolean indicating whether to restart web server or not:

php_restart_web_server: true

Dependencies

None.
