Update PHP ?

[Club AC-News]

Hi all,

I use a cubieboard3 as a web server. For several months, joomla tells me that I am PHP 7.0.33-0 + deb9u7et that I need to update my version of php to 7.3 or later. In the updates of the bone, I never see these updates of PHP, must it be done manually and how? I am in Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi.

Thank you

François

4.19.62-sunxi

Armbian marked Stretch as EOS. The current supported release is Buster.

Outdated as well. You probably missed the versioning change last year.

php to 7.3

You either should ask at Debian forums/search if there are backports for Stretch or update to Debian Buster.

I checked on my old FOX G20 with Kernel 4.9.124 and debian-stretch and in the normal debian-repositories there is only PHP v7.0

 

But it seem that you are not the only one who needs >= v7.3 on stretch

 

And YES you have to add something manually:

before you can install a new php-version:
==========================================

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt install ca-certificates apt-transport-https
wget -q https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

after that 

for PHP v7.3:
=============
sudo apt install php7.3
sudo apt install php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-curl php7.3-mbstring php7.3-mysql php7.3-xml

or 

for PHP v7.4:
=============
sudo apt install php7.4
sudo apt install php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-mysql php7.4-xml
