apt: Install all php packages whatsoever

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I'm quite fed up with tracking packages of PHP extensions that are needed for some GUIs like PHPMyAdmin or some CMSs like Drupal.



For example, I once did:



apt upgrade php-cli,curl,mbstring,mcrypt,gd


but now mcrypt is deprecated.



Also, in Arch Linux, some php-extension packages are included OOB in the php package.



Is there an apt command to install all PHP packages whatsoever that I could run after apt install lamp-server^ to save all this tracking?



Maybe apt install php is exactly what I need? Pilot6 thank you !

          apt install will match substring regexes if the package name is given with ., ? or *, so



          sudo apt install php.*


          will install all packages with names containing php.



          (This isn’t a good idea.)

          • This will install all versions of php as well from 1.x-7.x and all their remaining extensions, right? This could be 1 gb or more if so.

          • No, it can’t invent packages, so it won’t install PHP 1, 2 etc. In Debian 9 it will install PHP 7.0 and all available extensions (and debug packages if you have the debug repositories in your list of sources). You asked for a “command to install all PHP packages whatsoever”; this is such a command.

           apt-get install `apt-cache search php- | grep ^php- | cut '-d ' -f1`


          The result may not be pretty: on my debian + deb-multimedia system this finds 408 packages.
