I wanna use the pecl command to install redis to my php on Ubuntu 14.04. But my Pear is giving me a list of warnings:

XML Extension not found

Last line gives me this message

XML Extension not found

, although I installed #sudo apt-get install php-xml php7.0-xml. But the same problem still occurs.

What could be the problem?

Also please do show us the code where those errors are on. We cannot guess. - vuryss
I have encountered this issue recently on my local machine, I think it is related to incompatibilities between hte php7.0 package and php5-pear (I was using the 'dotdeb' repository and had pretty similar problems) - DaGhostman Dimitrov
@vuryss wut? These errors are shown when the OP is issuing pear command from terminal. There is no code involved in the question - DaGhostman Dimitrov
@DaGhostmanDimitrov Yes I'm getting this error while using this command : "sudo pecl install redis". - Towen
Yea I overlooked the lines. My bad. I doubt most of the pear libs are updated for php7. - vuryss

On some installations, there is a bug in pecl. Find this line;

exec $PHP -C -n -q $INCARG -d date.timezone=UTC -d output_buffering=1 -d variables_order=EGPCS -d safe_mode=0 -d register_argc_argv="On" $INCDIR/peclcmd.php "$@"

remove the -n

If you want to script it, try: 

sed -i "$ s|\-n||g" /usr/bin/pecl
