You can find PHP extensions here:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/92c884dfd7140a6c3e6c717cf8990f7a78524331/pkgs/top-level/php-packages.nix#L53-L56

And you can get PHP with any extension as described here:

https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#ssec-php-user-guide-installing-with-extensions

Hi @paklie! To directly address your question, you want to write pkgs.php instead of php, as in:

  myPhp = pkgs.php.buildEnv {
    extensions = { all, ... }: with all; [ sqlsrv pdo_sqlsrv ];
    extraConfig = "memory_limit=256M";
  };

There are a few other issues we should address first, though:

  • there are 2 separate ways for the httpd web server to execute php scripts: via mod_php (which corresponds to services.httpd.enablePHP = true; or php-fpm (which corresponds to services.phpfpm) - you should only choose one or the other
  • if you want to continue with mod_php instead of php-fpm then you should set services.httpd.phpPackage = myPhp;, though I would encourage you to use php-fpm instead
  • you don’t need to include "http2" in extraModules because NixOS will already include it

If you need any help/review/advice on your configuration.nix please feel free to provide a link to it and could take a look.

You want something like this:

  services.httpd.virtualHosts.localhost = {
    documentRoot = "/home/fadhli/www";
    extraConfig = ''
      <Directory /home/fadhli/www>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
      </Directory>
    '';
  };

See mod_dir - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 for details.
