Compiling shared PECL extensions with the pecl command
PECL makes it easy to create shared PHP extensions. Using the » pecl command, do the following:
$ pecl install extname
This will download the source for extname, compile, and install extname.so into your extension_dir. extname.so may then be loaded via php.ini
By default, the pecl command will not install
packages that are marked with the alpha or
beta state. If no stable packages
are available, you may install a beta package using the
following command:
$ pecl install extname-beta
You may also install a specific version using this variant:
$ pecl install extname-0.1
Notă:
After enabling the extension in php.ini, restarting the web service is required for the changes to be picked up.

Options to pass to configure (with -D or --configureoptions=) need to be specified this way in a Dockerfile RUN command:
RUN pecl install -D 'with-example-dir="/dir" enable-example-thing="yes"' package
or
RUN pecl install --configureoptions='with-example-dir="/dir" enable-example-thing="yes"' package
Otherwise, docker build might quote the command in a way that pecl doesn't parse correctly, and the build will fail with an error like this one:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_key_exists(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, null given in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Builder.php:397

To compile pecl extensions on Amazon Linux AMIs, follow the tutorial at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html and then install these additional required packages with the following command:
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install php-devel zlib-devel curl-devel gcc
You should then be able to compile pecl extensions; for example, enter the following command to compile the pecl_http extension:
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo pecl install pecl_http
