currently I want to update my old php 5.6 application in ubuntu xenial 16.04.6 with php5.6-zip extension.

sudo apt-get install php5.6-zip

E: Unable to locate package php5.6-zip
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php5.6-zip'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php5.6-zip'

tried to add the ppa repository sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6

The user named '~ondrej' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/php5-5.6'

Then tried to run sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php and sudo apt-get install php5.6-zip

still got the unable to locate package php5.6-zip error. Btw there is no php5.6-zip from apt-cache policy php5.6 command. Does anyone have solution regarding this problem? your help would be much appreciated. Thank you

  • PHP 5.6 is horribly outdated, and Ubuntu Xenial is also unsupported. You should plan to upgrade both as soon as possible – Nico Haase Oct 13 '21 at 09:15
  • unfortunately there are many existing application in the server so to upgrade the ubuntu version will cost much resource. thank you for your concern – Clarissa Clapie Oct 13 '21 at 09:32
  • Then have a look at https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/1567 - the maintainer of these packages provided alternatives you should check – Nico Haase Oct 13 '21 at 09:35

As far as I know you can't install from zip using "apt-get install". Since the zip file contains the build files. To install it use this instead, this should work.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php5.6

And this to see versions

php -v
