Missing PHP libevent functions

Question

I've instaled php-pecl-event library, but I cant see any library function:

[root@server ~]# php -r "var_dump(function_exists('event_free'));"
bool(false)
[root@server ~]# php -r "var_dump(function_exists('event_add'));"
bool(false)
[root@server ~]# php -r "var_dump(function_exists('event_buffer_free'));"
bool(false)

These are packages I have installed:

[root@server ~]# pecl list

And this is section from php -i:

event

Event support => enabled
Sockets support => enabled
Debug support => disabled
Extra functionality support including HTTP, DNS, and RPC => enabled
OpenSSL support => enabled
Thread safety support => disabled
Extension version => 1.10.2
libevent2 headers version => 2.0.21-stable

Does anyone have idea about missing functions?

Answer 1

PECL::event != PECL::libevent.
Install libevent instead:

# pecl list
Installed packages, channel pecl.php.net:
=========================================
Package  Version State
libevent 0.1.0   beta
# php -r "var_dump(function_exists('event_free'));"
bool(true)
