Since this release there's an easy way to customize your PHP install to get a much smaller
base PHP with only wanted extensions enabled. See the following snippet installing a smaller PHP
with the extensions <literal>imagick</literal>, <literal>opcache</literal> and
<literal>pdo_mysql</literal> loaded:
<programlisting>
environment.systemPackages = [
(pkgs.phpbase.buildEnv { exts = pp: with pp; [
imagick
exts.opcache
exts.pdo_mysql
(pkgs.php.buildEnv { exts = pp: with pp.exts; [
pp.imagick
opcache
pdo_mysql
]; })
];</programlisting>
All native PHP extensions are available under <package><![CDATA[phpPackages.exts.<name?>]]></package>.
The default <literal>php</literal> attribute hasn't lost any extensions -
the <literal>opcache</literal> extension was added there.
All upstream PHP extensions are available under <package><![CDATA[php.packages.exts.<name?>]]></package>.

Since we have a smaller base package that we base the main <literal>php</literal> on a
smaller base package we've decided to remove a big bunch of options to make the main
PHP derivation much easier to work with.
The updated <literal>php</literal> attribute is now easily customizable to your liking
by using extensions instead of writing config files or changing configure flags.
Therefore we have removed the following configure flags:
