I’m having a similar issue, but with php5 and Parrot 6 (lory)

This is probably a noob question:

  • Do I need to add a particular repository?
  • Do I have to compile this from source?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Background.

I understand that support for PHP 5 has been discontinued since 10 Jan 2019, but I need to install php 5.x due to its different srand behavior (the script I’m looking at only works with v5.x :frowning: )

Most of the instructions online seem to talk about adding the SURY repository https://sury.org/
But does not appear to cater for “lory”, although it should work for Debian 12 (i.e. “bookworm”).
