Upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and facing problem after installing PHP5.

Installed PHP-5 with following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install php5.5   # for PHP 5.5

Trying to install php-curl but its not working.

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Error: E: Unable to locate package php5-curl

are you sure it's not installedand not just disabled? use php5enmod command to enable it. – Prang 6/8, 2016 at 4:46

Is there a reason why you need to use php 5.5? It's reached it's end of life, and is no longer supported (There are many security issues) – Duky 6/8, 2016 at 4:46

@frankerZ My projects not working under PHP7 – Delmydeloach 6/8, 2016 at 4:57

Are these huge projects? I think you should lean toward making your projects work in the latest version, then installing an old php to support this project. – Duky 6/8, 2016 at 5:0

I've 15-20 projects on local and live servers not in my hand – Delmydeloach 6/8, 2016 at 5:3

In Ubuntu 16.04 default PHP version is 7.0, if you want to use different version then you need to install PHP package according to PHP version:

PHP 7.4: sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl
PHP 7.3: sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl
PHP 7.2: sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl
PHP 7.1: sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl
PHP 7.0: sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
PHP 5.6: sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
PHP 5.5: sudo apt-get install php5.5-curl

For me, this was exactly the case. Had PHP 7 installed and kept getting Package 'php5-curl' has no installation candidate. Running sudo apt-get install php-curl fixed the problem – Slant 8/8, 2017 at 2:44

use php -version to find out what version of PHP you're on – Farman 23/12, 2017 at 5:58

Perfect, but how do you fix libcurl issues with PHP 7.2 (needs libcurl4) and Percona MySQL 5.7 (needs libcurl3)? – Psychedelic 18/9, 2018 at 18:38

@Slant yes, your suggestion worked for me as well. – Anhedral 6/11, 2018 at 20:9

It seems, that these versions are no longer part of ubuntu 18.10 – Troup 20/11, 2018 at 15:15

Yes, this works without having to specify a PHP version if the user doesn't know it. – Staid 4/11, 2016 at 6:35

Worked for me too on Amazon EC2 Ubuntu 16 – Spodumene 28/3, 2017 at 0:26

For Ubuntu 18.04 or PHP 7.2 users you can do:

apt-get install php7.2-curl

You can check your PHP version by running php -v to verify your PHP version and get the right curl version.
