PHP-curl is one of the packages I included long ago. I don't recall why, I just know that I discovered I needed it for something so I turned it on.

So an upgrade to version 8 needs to be considered. I didn't know there was a version 8 until I ran across the need to test for a string within a string and googling suggested I use str_contains() function. Cool thinks I. Turns out that is a new function added to v8 so not available to me yet. >> >> David. >> >> On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 12:55 AM Michael Knill <mic...@ip...> wrote: >> Hi Devs >> >> >> >> Matthew (my developer) mentioned that the below PHP packages would be very desirable to have included in the standard Astlinux build.
