Compatibility docker images.

⁠PHP 5.6

Built from the latest official PHP 5.6 Dockerfiles (this⁠ commit), with PHP compiled to use MariaDB's libmysqlclient connector. This fixes connections with MySQL 8.0+, which uses a default collation not recognized by the official image's mysqlnd connector (utf8mb4).

⁠Available tags

• 5.6
• 5.6-apache
• 5.6-fpm

⁠Installed extensions

The following modules and extensions have been enabled, in addition to those you can already find in the official PHP image⁠:

• amqp
• bcmath
• bz2
• calendar
• event
• exif
• gd
• gettext
• iconv
• imagick
• intl
• ldap
• mbstring
• mcrypt (only PHP ≤ 7.1)
• memcached
• mysql (only PHP 5.x)
• mysqli
• pcov
• pdo_mysql
• pdo_pgsql
• pgsql
• redis
• soap
• sockets
• xsl
• Zend OPcache
• zip

You will probably not need all this stuff. Even if having some extra extensions loaded ain't a big issue in most cases (especially in a development environment), you will very likely want to checkout this repository, remove unwanted extensions from the Dockerfile, and build your own image — for sometimes removing is easier than adding. 😉

⁠Composer

Composer⁠ is installed globally in all images. Please, refer to their documentation for usage hints. Since 2020/11/01 both version 1 and 2 are installed, available through composer1 and composer2 commands respectively (composer in now a symlink to composer2).
Prestissimo (composer plugin)⁠ is installed globally in all images, for use with Composer version 1. It's a plugin that downloads packages in parallel to speed up the installation process of Composer packages.

⁠Contributing

If you find an issue, or have a special wish not yet fulfilled, please open an issue on GitHub⁠ providing as many details as you can (the more you are specific about your problem, the easier it is for us to fix it).

Pull requests are welcome, too! 😁 Please, run make build and make test before attempting a pull request. Also, it would be nice if you could stick to the best practices for writing Dockerfiles⁠.
