function ssh2_connect doesn't exist

[yves2]

We have a problem on my servers on ssh2.

My PHP program failed on :
if (!function_exists("ssh2_connect")) die("function ssh2_connect doesn't exist");

When I do :
php -a
 $result = ssh2_connect('localhost',PORT);

=> it is running ok.

 

A short script executed with Putty :
<?php
if (!function_exists("ssh2_connect")) die("function ssh2_connect doesn't exist");
$connection = ssh2_connect(IP, PORT);
echo "<p style='color:green;'>ssh2_connect: Ok</p>";
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', PWD);
echo "<p style='color:green;'>passwd Ok</p>";
?>

=> it is running ok.

 

But the same script launched by a Browser, failed : "function ssh2_connect doesn't exist"

Is there an apache special configuration to do ? (php 7.3, ubuntu 16.04)

I have already added :

extension=php_ssh2.dll
extension=ssh2.so
In the php.ini (/etc/php/7.3/apache2/php.ini)

And restart apache service. But "function ssh2_connect doesn't exist".

Is there any other configuration to do ?

Than's for your help.

Don't throw configuration at the problem unless you understand what the problem is and what the configuration can do to fix it.

You are using a Linux system. Linux does not use DLLs.

But it does use package managers. Don't edit any configuration files yourself and find the appropriate PHP + ssh package to install. Namely, php-ssh2. Installing that will do everything for you.
