FYI - New server extensions needed for Laravel

[susanBuck]

Hi everyone,

Two new PHP extensions were recently added as Laravel requirements, and if you don't have them you'll get errors from Composer next time you go to install/create a new Laravel project (e.g. when you initialize P3). You'll also get the error if you run composer update in your existing Bookmark or p1 applications.

To address this, you need to add the extensions on your server. To do this, first run php --version to see if you're running PHP 8.0 or 8.1 from command line.

Then, run the following command, swapping in 8.x with either 8.1 or 8.0 depending on the previous results.

> sudo apt-get install php8.x-curl php8.x-xml

Hat tip to @mgarimelHES for discovering this; ref: #25.

@susanBuck running these commands, I received an error after the second one:

~# sudo apt-get install php8.1-curl php-8.1xml
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php-8.1xml
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php-8.1xml'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php-8.1xml'

I moved the hyphen in the name of the XML package to match the location in the name of the CURL package, sudo apt-get install php8.1-curl php8.1-xml and it seems to have worked properly.
