 ramsey | Is that because the Nix practice is to build them from source? | 22:32:19 |
 Pol | Yes | 22:33:05 |
| ramsey | oh, I see. That runs box build | 22:33:15 |
| Pol | Yes | 22:33:41 |
| ramsey | So, nix builds its own Phar instead of using the one provided by the maintainers. Interesting. I don't see how this is really relevant in PHP's case, since it's not packaging a binary for the target system. | 22:34:18 |
| Pol | Yes | 22:34:55 |
| ramsey | I bet grahamc (he/him) could shed some light on that 🙂 | 22:35:26 |
| Pol | Or the current PHP maintainers ! | 22:36:35 |
| ramsey | PHP maintainers wouldn’t be able to explain why Nix wants to build the Phars from source rather than use the pre-built Phars from the Composer package maintainers | 22:38:01 |
| Pol | I think Jan Tojnar might ! | 22:38:33 |
| ramsey | Oh. You mean the Nix PHP maintainers? | 22:39:09 |

I'm trying to set up a development environment with nix pkgs, and Phive is one of the tools I need in that environment 🙂 You might want to have a look at what I use everyday: https://GitHub.com/loophp/nix-shell | 22:39:26 |

Oh. You mean the Nix PHP maintainers? Yes :) | 22:39:37 |
| ramsey | I thought you meant the PHP internals developers 🤣 | 22:39:54 |
| Pol | Sorry about the confusion | 22:40:04 |
| ramsey | No worries | 22:40:44 |
| Pol | Going to turn off the lights here, I'll continue tomorrow | 22:42:11 |
| Pol | It's midnight, I need some sleep | 22:42:25 |
| ramsey | Good night! | 22:56:37 |
| ramsey | So, using php80Extensions.xdebug doesn't automatically add Xdebug to the php.ini file. How would I configure that in default.nix? | 23:01:44 |
| ramsey | I honestly have no idea what I'm doing 😆 | 23:13:55 |
| ramsey | this hasn't really helped me get set up: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-php | 23:14:49 |
| ramsey | 'cause clearly this is wrong:
{ pkgs ? import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/bacbfd713b4781a4a82c1f390f8fe21ae3b8b95b.tar.gz") {} }:
php.buildEnv {
extensions = { all, ... }: with all; [ xdebug ];
}
| 23:15:35 |
| ramsey | (my default.nix) | 23:15:49 |

php.buildEnv {

}
that should work (though you will also want to keep the enabled) | 23:34:23 |
| ramsey | it tells me that it doesn't recognize php as a variable name | 23:34:57 |
| Jan Tojnar | oh, right, you need to use pkgs.php | 23:35:20 |
| Jan Tojnar | In Nix, like in most programming languages, only variables that are explicitly introduced into scope are available to use | 23:36:06 |
| ramsey | I don't know how to include pkgs.php | 23:36:28 |
| Jan Tojnar | it should be available inside the function body (since the function takes pkgs as an argument) | 23:37:12 |
