Enabling extensions in PHP CLI

https://blackswan.ch/archives/594

Become root
Find out which configuration file is used:
php --ini

I get:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/etc/php70
Loaded Configuration File: /usr/local/etc/php70/php.ini

Edit the php.ini file, check/change extensions dir to where it is located. If PHP was installed through DSM it should be something like ‘/volume1/\@appstore/PHP7.0’
extension_dir = "/volume1/@appstore/PHP7.0/usr/local/lib/php70/modules/"

Enable the extensions you wish to use:
extension = mysqli.so
extension = phar.so
extension = openssl.so
extension = zip.so
extension = curl.so

Installing Composer

Composer documentationhttps://medium.com/unhandled-code/installing-composer-on-synology-6-1-4-eebd1a1c4891

Become root
Enable the extensions as above (phar, openssl and zip are needed for Composer).

Get and install Composer:
cd /usr/local/bin
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php70

Create shortcut script ‘composer’ in /usr/local/bin:
#!/bin/bash
php70 /usr/local/bin/composer.phar $*

Set permissions:
chmod --reference=composer.phar composer

Test:
composer --version
