Describe the bug
When installing the php8.3-ds package on a PHP 8.3 system, the install works fine. However, when calling the php CLI binary, you get the error

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ds.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20230831/ds.so (/usr/lib/php/20230831/ds.so: undefined symbol: fast_add_function), /usr/lib/php/20230831/ds.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20230831/ds.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0

To Reproduce

apt install php8.3 php8.3-ds
php -i

Your understanding of what is happening
It seems like the fast_add_function was removed from the PHP source (php/php-src@3b06618). The php-ds extension probably needs the patch from https://git.remirepo.net/cgit/rpms/php/pecl/php-pecl-ds.git/diff/0001-fast_add_function-removed-in-PHP-8.3-use-add_functio.patch?id=d1cbd173944bbba55b92de019b01760746a67f78 in order to be compatible with PHP 8.3.

What steps did you take to resolve issue yourself before reporting it here
Looking up why/when the fast_add_function was removed, and the patch as a possible fix. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to fix this without recompiling the extension with the patch.

Expected behavior
PHP runs without startup errors and displays ds support => enabled

I had same problem. Did you manage to solve it?

[AlexanderGH]

This is now fixed in 1.5.0: php-ds/ext-ds#199

Any chance we could get a new build up on deb.sury.org?
