Phalcon PHP

Question

Is it possible to install the Phalcon PHP C extension framework? Install instructions: http://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/install.html#linux-solaris-mac

Accepted Answer

To install phalcon for php 5.4 you would first need to download it into your home directory:

cd ~
git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/build

php 5.2 is our default php version, which is not supported by cphalcon, so you would need to make some edits in their install script. You would first need to change phpize to phpize54 in line 53 and then change the last line from...

phpize && aclocal && $LIBTOOLIZE_BIN --force && autoheader && autoconf && ./configure --enable-phalcon && make && make install && echo -e "\nThanks for compiling Phalcon!\nBuild succeed: Please restart your web server to complete the installation"

to...

phpize54 && aclocal && $LIBTOOLIZE_BIN --force && autoheader && autoconf && ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php54-config --enable-phalcon && make && echo -e "\nThanks for compiling Phalcon!\nBuild succeed: Please restart your web server to complete the installation"

Notice the phpize change again, the --with-php-config option in the configure command and the missing make install command.

Running the install command with ./install should complete without errors and you should be able to view the modules in the 32bit/modules directory or the 64bit/modules one, depending on the architecture of the server you are on.

You would then need to customize your php.ini file to include those using the extension_dir directive. See the similar How do I install the Imagick PECL extension for my PHP 5.3 application? for further info.

When that's done, a phpinfo() call should show that version 1.1.0 of phalcon is loaded.

Here are the steps to compile Phalcon 1.2.6 on our centos6-64 servers:

PHP-5.4:

git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/ext
phpize54
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php54-config --enable-phalcon
make
mkdir ~/php54-exts && cp modules/phalcon.so ~/php54-exts/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/php54/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/* ~/php54-exts/

Add a php.ini with the following contents to the root of your application to enable the extension:

extension_dir = /home/username/php54-exts
extension = phalcon.so

PHP-5.5:

git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/ext
phpize55
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php55-config --enable-phalcon
make
mkdir ~/php55-exts && cp modules/phalcon.so ~/php55-exts/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/php55/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/* ~/php55-exts/

Add a php.ini with the following contents to the root of your application to enable the extension:

extension_dir = /home/username/php55-exts
extension = phalcon.so
