Description

Sample extension: https://github.com/mote0230/dbase-pecl-php7

Target environment: PHP 7.0, of course!

What's the appropriate way to get this to work? prior to using this module ... I would have either defined a selection of execs with some testing ... or pre-compile and just define the file types as appropriate.

How would one install a custom extension that's not on PECL or other providers (like apt or a PPA) using this module?

Research direction

Review the sample extension at https://github.com/mote0230/dbase-pecl-php7 and the existing puppet-php documentation to determine the supported process for installing a custom PHP 7.0 extension from source. Done means documenting clear installation steps for extensions unavailable through PECL, apt, or a PPA.
