How to install geoip module for PHP 8.1?

Question

PHP

I installed Apache on Ubuntu 21.04, and PHP 8.1, I wanted to add the GeoIp module to PHP, but in response I get that there is no such package. Any thoughts on this?

Answer 1

To my knowledge, the geoip module has been deprecated in favor of the maxminddb module. So it is recommended to use the second one. This is the most likely reason why it is not included in new versions of PHP.

Answer 2

You execute aptitude search php | grep geoipand you look what there are packages. Most likely php-geoip package of the required version

Answer 3

As you put the main piece, put the module. In theory, they should be able to come from the same repository.
