PHP is a multi-platform language and is used to generate dynamic content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PHP performs a wide range of tasks such as creating, opening, reading, writing, and deleting files residing on the server. In addition, it can collect form data, modify records in a database as well as manage access control by checking file permission and with access control lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is free to download and use, and is compatible with popular web servers such as Apache, Nginx, and OpenLiteSpeed. At the time of writing this guide, PHP 8.2 is the latest stable PHP release. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.php.net\/releases\/8.2\/en.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PHP 8.2 release notes<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide we will demonstrate how to install PHP 8.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"image is-16by9\">\n<iframe class=\"has-ratio\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VHPkSmH6IBw?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step1\">Step 1: Install EPEL Repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To start, log in to your server instance and update all the system packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf update -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1-2-300x114.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To install PHP 8.2, we need to install it from the Remi repository which is a free Yum repository that provides the latest PHP versions. Always use the latest version of PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, we first need to install the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redhat.com\/en\/blog\/whats-epel-and-how-do-i-use-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux<\/a> (EPEL) repository. EPEL is a community managed project and isn\u2019t managed or supported by IBM in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux support agreement. The repository is hosted by the Fedora project and includes a set of additional packages not included by default in RHEL. Since EPEL falls outside the scope of RHEL, we need to add it in order to proceed with the installation or Remi repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add the EPEL repository on RHEL 9, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf install https:\/\/dl.fedoraproject.org\/pub\/epel\/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-2-300x116.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To confirm that EPEL has been added, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ rpm -qi epel-release<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The output provides detailed information about the package, including the name, version, release, and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-2-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step2\">Step 2: Install Remi Repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the EPEL repository is added, the next step is to add the Remi repository. As mentioned earlier, the Remi repository provides the latest releases of PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add the Remi repository, execute the command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf -y install http:\/\/rpms.remirepo.net\/enterprise\/remi-release-9.rpm -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-300x122.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, you can confirm its installation as shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ rpm -qi remi-release<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5-2-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before installing PHP, we need to check the available PHP streams in the repository. To do so, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf module list php -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/6-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/6-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/6-2-300x121.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the output, remi-8.3 is the latest stream in the repository. However, we will add the remi-8.2 release, which provides PHP 8.2 , the latest stable version of PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to reset the default PHP module residing on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf module reset php -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/7-2.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/7-2.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/7-2-300x121.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, enable the remi-8.2 stream by specifying the repository name and version number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf module enable php:remi-8.2 -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/8-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/8-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/8-1-300x188.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the latest module stream enabled, proceed and install PHP 8 as shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf install php -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/9-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/9-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/9-1-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, confirm the version of PHP installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ php -v<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From the output, you can see that we have installed the latest version of PHP which is PHP 8.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/10-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/10-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/10-1-300x70.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step3\">Step 3: Install Additional PHP Extensions (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PHP extensions play an integral part in the PHP ecosystem. A PHP extension is a compiled library that extends the functionality of PHP and meets the needs of various types of applications. For example, the <strong>php-mysql<\/strong> extension allows you to connect to a MySQL database, and <strong>php-zip<\/strong> enables you to unpack or create zip files. PHP provides over 150 extensions for various functionalities. Use these only as required and keep all code dependencies and third-party components up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install a PHP extension, use the following syntax:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf install php-extension1 php-extension2<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can use the following short form in case you are installing several extensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf install php-{extension1, extension2, extension3}<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to install <strong>php-pear<\/strong>,<strong> php-zip<\/strong>,<strong> php-mysqlnd<\/strong>, and <strong>php-intl<\/strong>, run the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf install php-{pear,zip,mysqlnd,intl}<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/11-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/11-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/11-1-300x120.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step4\">Step 4: Integrate PHP with the Apache Web Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\"\/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Have a firewall enabled on your server and configure intrusion detection\/prevention system (IDS\/IPS).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>PHP integrates seamlessly with the Apache web server via the <strong>mod_php<\/strong> module. The module parses PHP code and interprets PHP files. It is included with the Apache web server and integrates automatically with the web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To demonstrate this, we will install Apache on our instance as shown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo dnf install httpd -y<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"178\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/12-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/12-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/12-1-300x104.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, start and enable Apache to start on system startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo systemctl start httpd<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo systemctl enable httpd<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to ensure that Apache is up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-code-block code-block\"><div class=\"code-block-snippet is-type-body-default\">\n<p>$ sudo systemctl status httpd<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/13-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of code\" class=\"wp-image-105276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/13-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/13-1-300x84.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With Apache installed and running, let\u2019s verify if the web server can parse PHP files.
