Some errors:

/home/devel/AUR/php-pam/src/pam-1.0.3/pam.c:251:36: error: macro "ZVAL_STRING" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
    ZVAL_STRING(status, error_msg, 0);
                                    ^
...
/home/devel/AUR/php-pam/src/pam-1.0.3/pam.c:256:6: error: too many arguments to function ‘zend_hash_find’

Patch I uploaded seems to be working correctly.

However, running small command like this, causes coredump

php -r "pam_auth('someuser','somepassword');"

coredump does not seem to be related to my patch as it happens before code reaches any of my changes (in pam_start)


But same command works if I disable optimization with CFLAGS -O0 .

Do not know how disabling optimization solves the issue?

Hope project maintainer can figure it out as I could not.

It seems the extension is unmaintained, though, see
<http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/pam/trunk/>.

Yes I noticed that the maintainer (@mikl) has 4 packages under him where in 3 of those he is sole maintainer. Last he was active in any of those 3 packages was in 2009 (so almost 8years)

https://pecl.php.net/user/mikl

pam is well known authentication method. So I was wondering why it is not being maintained.

Based on the statistics almost 10000 downloads happen per your for this package.

What is the procedure if there is no maintainer?

Somebody please apply the attached patch to:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/pam/trunk/

Or let me know how to create pull request?

Thank you.

You can apply for a PECL account[1], and request to be added as
maintainer for PECL/PAM.

I have fixed it at github and also added new features. (But needs PHP7)

I also ahve this problem on recent linux distro, based on the excellent
work of amish ( and also openmediavault) i purpose to :
package it in pecl format, with updated sources and readme to correctly
explain what is needed to be done to have a functionnal PAM under
version PHP7+, and a simple test script to validate all functions
included in 'readme'.
I think this module is very interresting and must be avaible to php7
'simply'.
before asking pecl account i've read it would be simple that i ask if my
proposition is correct.
thank you

The PAM package had no new release for more than ten years, and
has to be considered unmaintained.  If anybody is interesting in
taking over maintainership[1], they are welcome.  For the time
being, I'm suspending this ticket.
