Contribution [How-To] Compile PHP Phalcon for PHP 5.4 5.5 5.6 7.0

[StéphanS]

NOTE: PHP 5.4 is no longer supported

For more info, please refer to:

First install some basic dependencies:

yum install git make gcc glibc-devel zlib-devel

Then create the actual function to build and install PHP Phalcon

function plesk_php_install_phalcon {
cd
PHP_VERSION="$1"
echo "Building Phalcon for PHP Version: $PHP_VERSION..."
yum -y install plesk-php$(tr -d . <<<$PHP_VERSION)-devel
rm -rfv /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/include/php/ext/cphalcon/
rm -fv /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/lib64/php/modules/phalcon.so
rm -fv /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/etc/php.d/phalcon.ini
cd /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/include/php/ext/
git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/include/php/ext/cphalcon/build/
sed -i 's#./configure#./configure CFLAGS="-O2"#g' install
PATH=/opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/bin:$PATH ./install
ls -la /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/lib64/php/modules/phalcon.so
echo 'extension=phalcon.so' > /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/etc/php.d/phalcon.ini
/opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/bin/php -i | grep -i phalcon
}

To install run:

plesk_php_install_phalcon 5.6

Or install for all compatible versions:

for PHP_VERSION in 5.{5..6}
do
plesk_php_install_phalcon $PHP_VERSION
done

Whenever Phalcon becomes compatible with PHP 7
You can use:

for PHP_VERSION in {5.{5..6},7.0}
do
plesk_php_install_phalcon $PHP_VERSION
done

Now all that is left is to have Plesk find PHP Phalcon Extension(s):

plesk bin php_handler --reread

From devblog article (but I didn't need to do this step):

As a final touch, to have the extension appear on the customers’ phpinfo pages, clear the checkbox, click OK, and wait for the changes to be applied, then select the checkbox and apply the changes once again.

EDIT: If you really need PHP Phalcon on PHP 5.4, use:

cd
PHP_VERSION="5.4"
rm -rfv /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/include/php/ext/cphalcon/
cd /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/include/php/ext/
git clone -b 2.0.x --depth=1 git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/include/php/ext/cphalcon/build/
sed -i 's#./configure#./configure CFLAGS="-O2"#g' install
PATH=/opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/bin:$PATH ./install
ls -la /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/lib64/php/modules/phalcon.so
echo 'extension=phalcon.so' > /opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/etc/php.d/phalcon.ini
/opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/$PHP_VERSION/bin/php -i | grep -i phalcon

It works great, thanks for sharing! Which would be the version for Ubuntu?
