PHP Docker install php7-mysql

Question

For a while now, I'm trying to install the php7-mysql driver into different PHP docker containers from php/docker with no luck.

My Dockerfile looks like this:

# Dockerfile
FROM php:7.3-rc-apache-stretch
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

When I attach to the container and try to run

apt-get install php7.0-mysql

Debian stretch says that it has no installation candidate.

E: Package 'php7.0-mysql' has no installation candidate

What can I do to be able to install php7.0 modules to Debian Stretch?

Thanks in advance, this really took me some pomodores now!

Hey @divramod, did you managed to fix it? – Daniel Ramos Mar 19 '19 at 12:53 — Daniel Ramos, Mar 19 '19 at 12:53

It appears you are missing the repository for php7.

Adding the php7 ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
Then update:

sudo apt-get update
Now do a search to confirm php7 is there:

sudo apt search php7
Now install the php7 package:

sudo apt install php7.0-mysql

I got this error: ```/bin/sh: 1: add-apt-repository: not found``` – Hadi Rasouli Mar 04 '19 at 21:31
@HadiRasouli in this case, you'll need to install the command first: `sudo apt-get install software-properties-common` – Daniel Oct 06 '20 at 15:54

Did not work with ppa:ondrej/php but this works:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql

You can also install php7.0 from there

PHP Docker install php7-mysql
