I have a Linux server with Ubuntu 16.04 installed. I usit just for LAMPP environment, I have PHP 5.6 installed [in apache and CLI], that because the project crash with PHP7, so, I have to maintain in 5.6 version. I'm trying to run a PHP script from the CLI, and I gets: curl_init[] in unkown function. So, I went to the php.ini file [the one of the CLI] and unable the extension, but in CLI when I make: php --version I get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20131226/php_curl.dll' - /usr/lib/php/20131226/php_curl.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Then I tried to install curl with: sudo apt-get install php5-curl
but then I get:
E: Unable to locate package php5-curl
So, what should I do then? How can I install it?thanks
TL;DR: You can't install php5.6 on 14.04, consider upgrade releases.
Php 5.6 is still available on Ondrej's repository.
:~$ apt-cache policy php5.6
php5.6:
Installed: 5.6.40-6+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+3
Candidate: 5.6.40-7+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1

The problem is you're using Ubuntu 14.04 which has reached End Of Life, it is recommended that you update to newer version.
The ppa maintainer has dropped support for Ubuntu 14.04, the supported releases is as follow:
- Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
- Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic
- Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic
- Ubuntu 19.04 Disco
You have to upgrade/fresh install above version of Ubuntu to get php5.6 working.
I think you'd want to upgrade to Xenial since it doesn't require any fresh installing method and can be upgraded directly.
