[tarifa]

hello dear Experts

 

i am willing to install a php development-environment - with a good editor or IDE - recommendations:

 

Which are the steps to install and set up the php development-environment?

Can you recommend a good editor or IDE for

 

a. php

b. Python

 

 

look forward to your tipps and recommendations.

 

update: did a quick search on google and found some information: see below: 

 

 

cf: https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/debian/how-to-install-php-7-3-7-2-7-1-on-debian-10-debian-9-debian-8.html

see also: sury the third party-respository: https://deb.sury.org/ - a third-party repository which offers PHP 7.4 / 7.3 / 7.2 / 7.1 for Debian operating system.

By default, Debian 10 ships PHP v7.3. So, you can either install PHP v7.3 from Debian repository or SURY repository. Skip this section if you want to install PHP 7.3 from the Debian repository. However, if you want to install PHP 7.4 / 7.2 / 7.1 on Debian 10, you must set up SURY repository.

 

Update the repository cache.

sudo apt update
Install the below packages.

 

wget https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg

and see also here: 

 

echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php7.list

Update the repository index.

In this post, we will see how to install PHP 7.4 / 7.3 / 7.2 / 7.1 on Debian 10 / Debian 9.

 

Add PHP Repository SURY, a third-party repository which offers PHP 7.4 / 7.3 / 7.2 / 7.1 for Debian operating system.

PHP Support for Web ServerBoth Apache and Nginx do not support processing of PHP files by default when the browser requests the PHP page. So, we need to install the PHP package on the server to support PHP files.

 

PHP Support for Apache:
You can install a below package with Apache webserver to support PHP. This package provides the PHP modules for Apache 2 web server. Change PHP version, if required

PHP Support for NgnixNginx does not have a PHP modules package to support PHP. But, we can use the PHP FastCGI Process Manager to handle PHP requests. Change PHP version, if required

sudo apt install -y php7.4-fpm
Once you have installed FastCGI manager, add socket details in Nginx virtual host.

server {

# other codes

  location ~* \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
    include         fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
  }
}

again - see here https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/debian/how-to-install-php-7-3-7-2-7-1-on-debian-10-debian-9-debian-8.html

 

 

note: i will check out these commands and options  -and try to install all the wanted things. 

i come back and report all the findings.

hello dear Experts

 

i am willing to install a php development-environment - with a good editor or IDE - recommendations: 

 

see the both  -  the two approaches and two processes - installing php as a third party repository

- a. sury the third party-respository:
. b.   II install LAMP:

 

the above mentioned approach:

- a. sury the third party-respository:
cf: https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/debian/how-to-install-php-7-3-7-2-7-1-on-debian-10-debian-9-debian-8.html

 

see here the second approach

 

II install LAMP:

https://mxlinux.org/wiki/networking/lamp-setup/
This page describes how we can install LAMP, which stands for Linux Apache MariaDB PHP. For this purpose, we need to set up:

a working Apache2 webserver;
a configured MariaDB database server;
PHP for work with Apache; and finally
phpMyAdmin with a configured pmadb database.
The needed time for the whole installation is around 20 minutes but it may depend on the performance of your Internet connection. This will require you spend some time in the terminal to properly set up.

 

Getting root access
To get root access, we should open a terminal and enter the following command:

 

su –

 

After entering a valid password, the prompt should turn red and end with a #.

Apache
The following is a step-by-step process to install the Apache2 webserver that will be used in a basic LAMP setup.

Installing Apache2
First of all, we can make sure that we have root access and enter the following as root:

 

apt install apache2

 

Starting Apache2 Service
To start the Apache server, we can enter the following as root

service apache2 start

 

If we ever want to restart the Apache server:

service apache2 restart

 

To stop the apache2 service:

service apache2 stop

 

To automatically start the apache service after reboot

update-rc.d apache2 defaults

 

Testing the installation
Debian and consequently MX build of Apache2 stores the html pages under /var/www/html/

Now we can point our favorite Web browser to: ‘localhost’ or 127.0.0.1. You should see the default Apache2 welcome page.

 

note: i will check out these commands and options  -and try to install all the wanted things.
