Unable to install ext-PDO with Composer.

[PaulTGG]

🐛 Bugreport

Unable to use composer to install ext-PDO for database connections. Composer acts like ext-PDO is already installed, but still suggests that it be installed. I've also tried installing Postgres and Maria, with all their dependencies, and what I think are all the available php modules that connect to either Maria or Postgres. I also don't know if Composer is just lying, and a database connection would still work. (If I uncomment the database extension lines in php.ini, Composer says that PDO is already enabled, even though it still says that ext-PDO is suggested.)

Version & Environment

Rev: a8d6826 (Latest master as of December 5, 2023.)

OS: Debian 12.2..0
PHP 8.2.7
Composer: 2.5.5

Steps to reproduce

1. Install some fresh Debian
2. As root: apt install php composer php-curl php-redis php-gd php-memcached php-gnupg php-imagick php-bcmath php-soap php-xdebug php-xml
3. mkdir cypht-test
4. cd cypht-test
5. wget https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/archive/master.zip
6. unzip master.zip
7. cd cypht-master
8. composer suggest <-- this shows that ext-PDO is not installed
9. composer require ext-PDO <-- this installs a bunch of stuff, then throws into a bunch of looping "composer suggest" commands.
10. composer suggest <-- still shows that ext-PDO is not installed.

@Yannick243 Please use one of the lab servers to solve this. And please also review docs about usage with MariaDB and PostgreSQL.

[Yannick243]

This has been adjusted in composer suggestions; however, you should just ensure that the different drivers are installed before enabling the extensions in php.ini for MariaDB and/or PostgreSQL;

apt install php8.2-mysql php8.2-pgsql

and finally check if the extension is enabled with phpinfo();

@PaulTGG Can we close this?

Yep, my bad!
