Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-25 23:16:37] petk@php.net Hello, I think this has been now fixed in the pecl command line script which is part of the pear core repository [1]. A quick workaround until PEAR can be updated, is to manually edit the pecl command line script: which pecl vim /path/to/bin/pecl and remove the -n option in the last line as it was done in the linked conmit. [1] https://github.com/pear/pear-core/commit/f94454a74785865cec50bf9d64c410efc29b587a Please report back if that changes anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-25 21:47:41] dpuglielli at magnitude dot com Description: ------------ Trying to install any recent extension using PECL fails with the error message: Could not download from "https://pecl.php.net/get/<extension>", cannot download "pecl/<extension>" (Connection to `ssl://pecl.php.net:443' failed: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) Error: cannot download "pecl/<extension>" By recent I mean after about 11 November 2018 (deduced by trying different versions of different extensions until I narrowed down the date). As far as I can tell, this affects any version of any extension for PHP 7+, with PHP downloaded from the SUSE repositories on SUSE 12 or 15. The install command is 'zypper install php7 php7-pear php7-devel'. The problem is not fixed by installing the OpenSSL package from the repos (php7-openssl). This does not appear to affect any other platform. It is not clear to me if this is a PHP bug or a SUSE bug. A couple of people seem to have had this problem online, the suggested workaround is to force PECL to read php.ini when executing the PHP binary by removing the -n switch from PHP calls. See this issue: https://github.com/lazyfrosch/docker-icingaweb2/issues/1. The presence of the -n switch explains why downloading the openssl extension does not work, since that extension is loaded from an ini file. Test script: --------------- For example, pecl install decimal Expected result: ---------------- Extension should begin to download and install. Actual result: -------------- WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update Could not download from "https://pecl.php.net/get/<extension>", cannot download "pecl/<extension>" (Connection to `ssl://pecl.php.net:443' failed: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)
