Can an extension be configured?

[jayped007]

Is it possible to configure an extension as part of the install of that extension, for example I have a case where the following configuration was used prior to install of the extension:

 docker-php-ext-configure gd \
     --enable-gd \
     --with-freetype \
     --with-webp \
     --with-jpeg &&
 docker-php-ext-install gd && \
 docker-php-ext-enable gd

If not, is it then necessary to separately perform this for specific extensions that you want to configure? Is there any example of doing this?

It's not possible to configure the extensions (except for a few cases).

BTW please remark that, generally speaking, I tried to enable all the features of the extensions.

For example, for GD we use the following configuration options:

• for PHP 5.5/5.6:
  --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --with-zlib-dir --with-xpm-dir --with-freetype-dir --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-vpx-dir
• for PHP 7.0/7.1:
  --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --with-zlib-dir --with-xpm-dir --with-freetype-dir --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-webp-dir
• for PHP 7.2/7.3:
  --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --with-zlib-dir --with-xpm-dir --with-freetype-dir --with-webp-dir
• for PHP 7.4/8.0:
  --enable-gd --with-webp --with-jpeg --with-xpm --with-freetype
• for PHP 8.0/8.1:
  • if IPE_GD_WITHOUTAVIF is set:
    --enable-gd --with-webp --with-jpeg --with-xpm --with-freetype --with-avif
  • if IPE_GD_WITHOUTAVIF is not set:
    --enable-gd --with-webp --with-jpeg --with-xpm --with-freetype

Thank you! Explained both awesomely and quickly!

Thanks, saved me hours of works with explaining this for php 8.1 -> it also works with 8.3
