    Downloading PECL extensions

    There are several options for downloading PECL extensions, such as:

    • The pecl install extname command downloads the extensions code automatically, so in this case, there is no need for a separate download.
    • » https://pecl.php.net/ The PECL website contains information about the different extensions that are offered by the PHP Development Team. The information available here includes: changelog, release notes, requirements, and other similar details.
    • pecl download extname PECL extensions that have releases listed on the PECL website are available for download and installation using the » pecl command. Specific revisions may also be specified.
    • git Many PECL extensions reside on GitHub.
    • SVN Some PECL extensions also reside in SVN. A web-based view may be seen at » https://svn.php.net/pecl/. To download straight from SVN, the following sequence of commands may be used:


      $ svn checkout https://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/extname/trunk extname

    • Windows downloads The PHP project compiles and offers Windows DLLs for most PECL extensions on the package page.

    When using "pecl install package", you might run into a memory limit problem. Solution is to use "pear install pecl/$extensionname" since it uses php.ini's memory limit.
