Missing from Repo

[TheCryptek]

I noticed that the following packages are missing from the repo
php5
libapache2-mod-php5
php5-mysql

May I ask why? I'm trying to set up LAMP on my raspberry pi for a post I'm working on for my website...

EDIT: And before anyone says 'php7' that is also missing from the Repo.

A quick search with Synaptic shows php7.0 is there. It's php7.0 not php7
Note that the RPF or anyone here has nothing to do with what is in the repository. Rasbian Stretch is 99.9% an unmodified copy of Debian Stretch (55K + packages). The RPF only deals with a handful of RPi related packages.

I learned something new, and as far as synaptic goes, my RPi3 is headless and I'm not sure how to use synaptic headless [unless synaptic is just apt or apt-get] anywho, I did apt search php and the only thing that popped up was geany ;c. Not sure if PHP7.0 works with wordpress, if not then I'll get in touch with devs there, thank you for informing me, especially about the repository management, I didn't actually know that the only repository management done with RPF is just RPi related packages, I thought Raspbian was built on a custom repository all together. Thanks again! I really appreciate it and with this knowledge you have given me, I can spread it to the uninformed. "Knowledge is free"

Synaptic is a GUI based Package Manager.

You might try Aptitude Package Manager which is a text based menu for apt commands.

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude

Not sure if PHP7.0 works with wordpress.

It does. I recently did a successful test install of Wordpress on a Pi with MariaDB and PHP7.0.
