Install php5.6 curl

Question

I installed on Ubuntu 16.10 the co-existing php packages as outlined in https://askubuntu.com/questions/761713/how-can-i-downgrade-from-php-7-to-php-5-6-on-ubuntu-16-04

I've run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. When I try to install php-curl I get an error message:

randall@randall-VirtualBox3:/$ sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
Reading package lists... Done

How do I fix?

Confirm that you have that version available sudo apt-cache search php|grep curl You may not have the proper version available. — Kamran

To install php5.6-curl or anything, when you ran into trouble

first search your system to ensure that you have it in there.

apt-cache search php | grep -i curl

Result

php5-curl - CURL module for php5

Now use:

apt-get install php5-curl -y

If I grep the cache I don't see a php5.6-curl. I'm using this repository launchpad.net/%7Eondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/…. I have to use php 5.* the web application I'm working on doesn't support a later version.

What did you see ? any php5-curl ? make sure that you do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y to update your repo then do grep command again.

Yes I had ran those commands. No php5-curl - "package ... is not avaiable".
