apt: Install all php packages whatsoever

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

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 !}
