Add Support for Recommended PHP Modules

[jbodnar2]

What

Either enable or allow users to enable/disable a greater selection of WP's "highly recommended" PHP modules, for example: curl, exif, imagick, intl.

WP's list of highly recommended modules is available in its online documentation.

Why

Many WP sites, plugins and themes require a greater array of PHP modules. Without this enhancement, Studio will be severly limited in its ability to support the design and development of complex sites, themes, and plugins.

How

No response

Thanks for the suggestion, @jbodnar2 !

We'll need to coordinate with WordPress Playground in order to solve this. Here are a couple of related issues:

• Support Xdebug WordPress/wordpress-playground#314
• PHP feature parity WordPress/wordpress-playground#763

curl is already there for the Node.js PHP builds 🎉 exif, imagick, and intl are not. Perhaps they wouldn't be difficult to add, though? Here's the part of the repo where wasm libs are compiled if you're up for a challenge: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/tree/trunk/packages/php-wasm/compile/

Otherwise let us know if one of these libs blocks an important use-case for Studio.

We've closed that issue as mostly everything is done. The last remaining parts are the Imagick and Xdebug extensions, and they are tracked separately:

• Add Xdebug support #192
• Add imagick support #1432

also php intl is reported missing.

[adamziel]

@uhlhosting that may or may not be a matter of updating Studio to the latest PHP.wasm. intl have been supported since May.

[wojtekn]

intl should be in Studio since 1.5.3 released on June 9th.

@uhlhosting, could you please confirm you are using the latest Studio version?

[uhlhosting]

@wojtekn I am positive, yet this is on macos, intl and imagick are shown as missing on a simple install with latest studio version, Intel cpu.
