Adding extension of Composer to Linux Web App

Question

Hi there,

I've researched and tried to find an up to date answer however I can't hence why I'm asking here.

For my project I need to add the composer dependency into PHP, however when I go into my web app service extensions is greyed out.
I managed to navigate to the extensions page, but whenever I go to select an extension it never loads.

I was wondering what I can do to get this composer into PHP.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for the question! You may want to use the steps from the below blog to install the PHP extension.

Also, if you need to include additional dependencies for Linux PHP app, you can use Composer to install them > use a .deployment file to invoke the custom deployment script to run “php composer.phar install” cmd.

Please refer to below tutorial link which shows how to use a .deployment file to invoke the custom deployment script to run “php composer.phar install” command.
