checking for hash includes... configure: error: Cannot find php_hash.h

Hi, were you able to solve this problem?

It's hard to help diagnose the problem because I no longer have a Mac and I know building software on them can be problematic (SIP protections, etc).

The first thing I'd do is make sure you have php_hash.h in your include path. It seems like you should have it by default but I'm not certain on OSX.

I am having the same problem

[michael-grunder]

My guess is the error is exactly what it says. Your system doesn't have php_hash.h or it's not somewhere configure can find it.

[RGaius]

me too

[michael-grunder]

We aren't going to be able to help here without more information.

Like as a starter, confirmation from someone that they do indeed have the file php_hash.h

Maybe you don't have an /usr/include folder. MACOS 15.15 remove it

I'm having this problem and I do have php_hash.h, see attached. I tried installing earlier versions of phpredis and had a similar issue with php_json.h which appears in another ticket.

Maybe this is a similar bug and requires a similar solution as the other ticket.

Same issue when trying to install phpredis on a MacBook Air with a M1 processor.

Just install it manually. In my case (Apple M1), the correct phpize version was not found by pecl.

I've successfully built phpredis like that (replace your php-config path with yours)

tar zxvf redis-5.3.2.tgz
cd redis-5.3.2
phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/php@7.4/7.4.13_1/bin/php-config --enable-redis-igbinary=no --enable-redis-lzf=no --enable-redis-zstd=no
make
make install

Same problem here, has anyone found a solution? php_hash.h it's in the include path

[shizhifeng]

any idea for this problem plz.

[field-fd]

I hava solved the problem. my macos is big sur 11.2.3
just install another php version.
brew install php72
install success you will see

than you can install phpredis extension

enter phpredis catalog
$ /usr/local/opt/php@7.2/bin/phpize  # attention , this is the new PHP installed catalog  
$ ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/opt/php@7.2/bin/php-config 
$ make && make install

Note: MacOS comes with its own php version that gets installed in /usr/bin/php while brew will put it in /usr/local/bin/php
Be sure you have the path containing "local" before the default one in the $PATH.
Also, maybe it is not obvious: after installing PHP with brew, open a new terminal to get the proper php version running.

[therohitdas]

I ran into the same issue while installing the extension on Pop!_OS 21.04
I was passing the php binary as -

./configure --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php

I fixed it by passing php-config

./configure --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config

I was installing the extension to my Xampp installation so the location was /opt/lampp/

[michael-grunder]

Going to close this old issue. If people are still running into this issue I'm happy to help. I've now actually got an M1 mac running PhpRedis.
