Apologies; should be a feature request and not a bug report.

Perhaps you could be the first to try it and tell us if it already works?

With most platforms (Java, C#, etc) we don't explicitly test or support the product when a new version of the platform comes out, we just rely on the user community to tell us if there's a problem. Usually there isn't.

Ah! In that case, unfortunately it doesn't work. Because the final version is not yet available as a docker image, I tested it on php:8.0.0RC5-fpm. It was working on php:7.4.12-fpm.

Please find the full log here: https://pastebin.com/m3rHAsrL.

To reproduce, run the following Dockerfile:

FROM php:8.0.0RC5-fpm AS php

RUN set -eux; \
    apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        unzip \
    ; \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*;

ARG saxon='libsaxon-HEC-setup64-v1.2.1'
RUN set -eux; \
    cd /tmp && curl -s -o ${saxon}.zip https://www.saxonica.com/saxon-c/${saxon}.zip; \
    unzip ${saxon}.zip; \
    ./${saxon} -batch -dest /tmp/saxon; \
    cp /tmp/saxon/libsaxonhec.so /usr/lib/; \
    cp -r /tmp/saxon/rt /usr/lib; \
    ldconfig; \
    cd /tmp/saxon/Saxon.C.API/; \
    sed -i 's/#define PHP_SAXON_EXTNAME  "Saxon\/C"/#define PHP_SAXON_EXTNAME  "SaxonC"/g' php_saxon.h; \
    phpize; \
    ./configure --enable-saxon; \
    make -j$(nproc); \
    make install; \
    docker-php-ext-enable saxon; \
    rm -rf /tmp/${saxon}.zip /tmp/${saxon} /tmp/saxon;

Well considering that PHP 5 went EOL almost 2 years ago :) I'm not sure if that would mean improvements can be made which were previously not possible because you had to support both versions? I'm not an extension developer so I really couldn't tell.

The build problems reported above look really similar to the issues reported here: https://github.com/docker-library/php/issues/571

But maybe you already know :)

I noticed in another issue you're mentioning Saxon/C 1.3; Is PHP 8 support planned for 1.3 as well? I'm asking because this extension is currently my last blocker for using PHP 8 and I would very much like to upgrade.

I found the PR's below where another extension is upgraded to PHP 8, maybe they're of use :).

Awesome. Thank you!

Any update? We'd like to update to PHP 8.0 and later this year to PHP 8.1

PHP 7.4 active support is ending in november..

Hi, sorry I have not investigated this as yet. It is still on our to do list.

Hi, have you been able to make progress on the update for compatibility with php 8? thanks in advance

Hi, It is still on our todo list.
