ext-bcmath not working?

[katmai]

Hi,

I just tried to enable bcmath and hhvm today, but when i am running composer update it says ext-bcmath cannot be found.

any idea how can i get this enabled, or am i missing something? i was able to enable memcached and xsl - the shared ones. i just can't get bcmath to work.

regards

Oh, you're using HHVM. In that case, you don't have to enable the extension. Composer doesn't support it. It should be enabled out of the box.

well okay, i tried to remove hhvm from composer.json but i get the same error message that hhvm is not found. in the docs, it says that hhvm should be enabled in composer. that's why i enabled it there.

regardless, composer errors out when trying to enable either - just hhvm, or just bcmath

[dzuelke]

Well, it looks like you have web: vendor/bin/heroku-hhvm-apache2 in your Procfile; you should adjust that again to heroku-php-apache2.

I did remove hhvm, i just enabled it to show you the hhvm error. This is what i keep getting when trying to enable ext-bcmath in composer

  Problem 1
    - The requested PHP extension ext-bcmath * is missing from your system.

[dzuelke]

Oh, is that locally on your system? You obviously need to install (or enable) the bcmath extension...

[katmai]

It's the local system from which i push stuff to heroku. Do local installed packages have any effect on the things i can install in heroku? I can confirm that after i installed bcmath locally, and running composer update i could then push to heroku, but i don't see why do the local installation of bcmath being missing had any impact on the heroku push
