How to enable php extensions in ubuntu?

I hope everyone is okay. Let's go:

I'm trying to enable some php extensions and I can't at all.

I use ubuntu with the following version:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

Apache:

Server version: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)

Mysql:

mysql Ver 8.0.32-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))

PHP

PHP 8.2.5 (cli) (built: Apr 14 2023 04:27:02) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.5, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v8.2.5, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

enter image description here

I went to the php.ini file, uncommented the necessary extensions: /etc/php/8.2/apache2

enter image description here

I have already restarted apache2. I restarted the OS. And whenever I check through phpinfo(); it's always the same.

php -m

calendar
Core
ctype
curl
date
exif
FFI
fileinfo
filter
ftp
gd
gettext
hash
iconv
json
libxml
mysqli
mysqlnd
openssl
pcntl
pcre
PDO
pdo_mysql
Phar
posix
random
readline
Reflection
session
shmop
sockets
sodium
SPL
standard
sysvmsg
sysvsem
sysvshm
tokenizer
Zend OPcache
zlib
[Zend Modules]
Zend OPcache

What could I do? Would it be a bug in the communication between the server and the language modules?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

un-commenting will not work on Ubuntu/Debian libux as you should install extension like sudo apt install php8.2-curl
i believe you do not have php-fpm installed with apache and using default .... hence you need to restart apache2 for changes to take effect. you can check if php-fpm is configured with apache either via phpinfo() or via sudo service php8.2-fpm status .

you may refer this article for detailed information on how to install. Please also note you might have to add Ondřej Surý’s PHP PPA to get latest stable versions of php for ubuntu
