On January 22nd 2015, the PHP group released PHP 5.6.5.
This release fixes several bugs as well as CVE-2015-0231, CVE-2014-9427 and CVE-2015-0232. All PHP 5.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. (…) The list of changes is recorded in the ChangeLog.
PHP 5.6.5 packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 7.7 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures.
Notes :
- Because of performance issues with Zend thread safety (pthreads depends on it), I had to disable it on the wheezy-php56 repo. Users using pthreads now have to use the wheezy-php56-zts repository instead. See the instructions for more details
- Regression : php5-memcached still lacks JSON support
- Missing packages : Xcache, Xdebug and Xhprof are still missing, I’m working on it
- End of support : Spplus won’t be supported anymore. Pinba’s fate hasn’t been decided yet.

Hello,
after the update I get the following error.
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20131226/memcache.so’ – /usr/lib/php5/20131226/memcache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
@Frank : sorry for that. Take a look at https://github.com/gplessis/dotdeb-php5/issues/72 for a fix
Hi guys, after upgrading to 5.6.5-1~dotdeb.1 phalcon framework doesn’t work any more.
@Davor : could you please give us some more precise error to help diagnosing the problem? Thanks.
If you had custom PHP extension that you built yourself, you’ll have to rebuild them. ZTS has been disabled, so the extension_dir has changed.
phpinfo says extension directory is /usr/lib/php5/20131226. I recompiled Phalcon and phalcon.so is in the extensions directory. In php.ini I have the line extension=phalcon.so
@Davor : Is it working now that you recompiled? If not, please could you dig a little further for an error message? Thanks.
@Davor : for example, any error message when you launch “php -v” ?
absolutely no errors 🙂 rest of the applications that don’t run on Phalcon are working fine. php5 -v gives no errors as same as logs.
Strangest thing ever. After the upgrade was done and I manually stopped and started php5-fpm for XXX times, 2 processes were still left hanging. I’ve installed php5 again and have built Phalcon from scratch. It works now, except I’ve been getting errors that mcrypt is not available. I’ve created /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/mcrypt.ini (put extension=mcrypt.so), restarted php5-fpm and everything seems to be working fine. Thanx!
Thanks for your wonderful Job.
Works great. Thanks a log, again.
Thanks for the update. Could you just tell me how to get this message off please ? Thanks 🙂

Hi Guillaume,
Thanks a lot for your update 🙂 Do you know how to fix this bug with zmq pecl extension ?
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/zmq.so’ – /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/zmq.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
It seems to be that zmq.so is installed by pecl in /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/zmq.so
So, i’ve created a symbolic link from /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/zmq.so to /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/zmq.so and then i’ve got this message :
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/zmq.so’ – /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/zmq.so: undefined symbol: executor_globals in Unknown on line 0
Do you have an idea ? Am i doing wrong ?
Thx
Cédric
@JBGO : Could you please run apt-get install --reinstall php5-imagick and tell me if it fixes your issue?
@Cédrix : ZTS has been disabled in the wheezy-php56 repo, so the extension_dir has changed. You should probably rebuild your own custom extension (I mean zmq, here).
Thanks for the reply ! No, still the same 🙁
Thank for your reply.
I’ve rebuild the extension from github source but i still get this error 🙁
For those who want xdebug, you can install it via pecl:
apt-get install php5-dev
pecl install xdebug
@JBGO : are you using the wheezy-php56 or the wheezy-php56-zts repo?
In doubt, you could run “apt-get install –reinstall” on all of your php-related packages to make sure that both PHP SAPIs and the extensions come from the same repo and that there’s no conflict in their extension_dir.
@Cédric : could you please check the value of extension_dir for each of your PHP binary and tell me what you see in your /usr/lib/php5/20131226-zts/ and /usr/lib/php5/20131226/ directories?
Hi Guillaume,

@Cédric : ok, the zmq extension has been built for a different branch of PHP (5.5, I guess). Uninstall it and build it by yourself : pecl install zmq
Hi, first thing I want to say: great job maintaining this repository.
I had the need to use pthreads and ev, so i was compiling from pecl, then I found out dotdeb already has pthreads. I would be great to see php5-ev as well.
@Lionel : feel free to open a feature request on https://github.com/gplessis/dotdeb-php5/issues
Ok, I will. Thanks for everything again.
I’ve tried PHP 5.5.X from your repo, but I believe it lacks ZTS option enabled (tried apt-get source and didn’t see the flag inside debian/rules), hence after repo install I couldn’t install pthreads.
I hoped I could use php5.5 with zts enabled, since 5.6 has performance issues.
@Michael : If you care about performance, don’t use ZTS at all, it involves a 15% performance drop, whatever PHP’s branch.
If you want ZTS from Dotdeb packages anyway, along with the php5-pthreads package, please consider upgrading to PHP 5.6 and using the wheezy-php56-zts repo.
Oh, I thought it was php5.6 issue 😉
Thanks for the explanation.
