Upgrade PHP to 7.3 on Amazon Linux (specifically for Elastic Beanstalk but should work elsewhere)

upgrade-php7.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Upgrade an Amazon Linux EC2 to PHP 7.3
#
# Last tested w/ PHP 7.2 AWS Linux version 2.8.5

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

yes - I get the same error as cichondev - any update on a solution?

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.

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 using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  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.
