Install php7.3 on Amazon Linux 2023 image
0
My requirement is to install PHP 7.3 on the latest Amazon Linux 2023 image. I am aware that the 7.x version is not included in AL 2023.
I have already tried using phpbrew, but this tool needs php 7.2.5 to run.
Is there any other ways to install it?

Hello.
I think there is a way to install PHP from source code as shown below, or to use a container such as Docker.
sudo su -
dnf update -y
dnf install -y tar gzip make gcc libxml2-devel bzip2-devel curl-devel readline-devel libxslt-devel
curl https://www.php.net/distributions/php-7.3.33.tar.gz -o php-7.3.33.tar.gz
tar -xzvf php-7.3.33.tar.gz
cd php-7.3.33
./configure --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-gettext --enable-mbstring --with-mysqli --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd --enable-pcntl --with-pdo-mysql --disable-posix --with-readline --enable-sockets --enable-wddx --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl --with-zlib --disable-fileinfo
make && make install
php -v
Thank you very much. This solution is perfect!

I've some apps that passed for this situation when we were migrating from onpremises to AWS. My best solution was use Docker to install a old php version.
Install Docker on your ec2 instance, create a docker image of Ubuntu, Debian or whatever with your old php version and map your aplication dir to be mounted in your container.
Your devs will continue to access the source code normally like always and your apache+php will be confined without make a mess in your machine.
