Hm. It wasn't dropped and it still works for me.

Do you use a specific configuration of PHP? e.g. ZTS or debug?

[ilia-rebane-vectorsolutions]

Nothing special docker Image based on php:5.6-fpm-alpine Again previous version of the script is working fine.

[bwoebi]

Actually, also on php:5.6-fpm-alpine it works for me:

@ilia-rebane-vectorsolutions Did you by chance use the linux/arm64 builds of your docker container? PHP 5 does not have arm64 builds.

[ilia-rebane-vectorsolutions]

Nope, we use Circle Ci to build our images. Locally docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 to get the image.

[bwoebi]

On that note, I noticed that, while it installed fine, libexecinfo was still required on PHP 5. That should be better now in 0.83.1. But it sounds like your issue is more fundamental. I have no idea why it should happen though - as I cannot reproduce it.

Could you please give me full reproduction instructions?

[ilia-rebane-vectorsolutions]

I was prepping the Dockerfile to prove the issue and now it builds fine for me. Thanks for fast response.

[drupol]

Sorry in advance to reopen this old topic, but I would like to have some clarifications.

The last version of datadog_trace that I'm able to compile with PHP 5.6 is version 0.75.0. How do you guys are you using older versions ?

[bwoebi]

Hey @drupol, we do not release new PECL versions anymore for PHP 5, as part of our phase-out of PHP 5 support. If you want to compile it from source, clone this github repository and check out the PHP-5 branch.

Otherwise, use our installer, which still includes the PHP-5 artifacts.

Fair enough! Thanks for replying.

Last question, what is the latest stable (tag?) version for PHP 5 then ?

[bwoebi]

That should be 0.75.0.

[drupol]

That should be 0.75.0.

Perfect, that's what I used in https://github.com/fossar/nix-phps/pull/257

Thanks!
