Issue PHP extension in Plesk 8.3 and 8.2 - ctype and bcmath not together

[JuliuszR]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.65_build1800241106.13 os_Ubuntu 24.04

Really funny,

For Laravel application I need 2 extensions - ctype and bcmath. one of them is in php 8.3.6 namely ctype, but bcmath is missing and when I try to install it via PECL I get information that it is not allowed to install.

The PHP extension 'bcmath' cannot be installed or uninstalled because it is provided by Plesk out of the box, or uses packages provided by the OS vendor, or uses some other packages. You can only enable or disable the extension.

But in no one version of PHP 8.3.6 is bcmath, the funny thing is that in version PHP 8.3.13 - 8.2.25 it is everywhere but there is no ctype and it cannot be installed via PECL.

Question - how to install ctype in PHP 8.2.25 if it is not in PECL? or

Thank you for help

Juliusz

Hi,
PHP 8.2.25 shipped with Plesk is already compiled with ctype module:

# /opt/plesk/php/8.2/bin/php -m | grep ctype
ctype

you do not have to install it additionally

HI Nikolay,
you are right, sorry, I was too lazy to write phpinfo and upload it to the server. I checked the graphical surface of php settings in plesk and there is no ctype extension there.
sorry again
