So, I've run into an issue with PHP 7.1 UUID not existing and noticed you have that line (77) commented out. You ever find a solution for this issue?

Hi,
getting the following error. Please suggest any solution

@manish-ip This is one of those gists I made for myself having no idea others would use it... I haven't seen that issue, it may be a platform version issue. Have you tried --skip-broken to get around it?

@manish-ip run yum install php73 NOT yum install php

For others trying to use you'll have to update these two lines. Here is the latest as of my posting but they can change. Just search on rpmfind.net.

@heathdutton @skynet,
Is this script still working for you? I'm getting the error below, do you have any ideas for solving this? Thanks!

Now ElasticBeanStalk supports PHP 7.3. I think it's a better option.

Now ElasticBeanStalk supports PHP 7.3. I think it's a better option.

Agreed!

ElasticBeanstalk support PHP73 but few PHP Extensions; ie: php73-pecl-redis is not available.

ElasticBeanstalk support PHP73 but few PHP Extensions; ie: php73-pecl-redis is not available.

I created a new environment with PHP7.3 default, and don't installed any extension. I am using Redis and it's working fine for me. :)

you made me doubt,
on a fresh PHP7.3 installation

php -m | grep -i redis | wc -l
0

Maybe you're using a PHP Redis implementation: predis.
Our application is using PHP Extension: PhpRedis

Sorry @armetiz, I did know about that difference.

For php73-pecl-memcached I get the following error:

Error: Package: libmemcached-opt-libs-1.0.18-2.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi-safe)
  Requires: libsasl2.so.3()(64bit)

  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Now ElasticBeanStalk supports PHP 7.3. I think it's a better option.

But it doesn't have the PHP memcached extension so, to use elasticache will be a big headache.
