We have already discussed about how to install and configure SSH2 extension in XAMPP in Linux System, same process will configure in your PHP.

Step 1 : Before start, we need to update and install the necessary packages for  build/install ssh2 extension

#  yum update

#  yum install  make gcc  libssh2  php-devel php-pearlibssh2-devel

Step 2 : Install ssh2 extension using pecl command for  auto detect and download once hit enter,
 
#  pecl install -f ssh2

Build process completed successfully

Installing '/usr/lib64/php/modules/ssh2.so'

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-0.12

configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location

You should add "extension=ssh2.so" to php.ini

Step 3 : Once the package has been installed in your system, we need to configure the extension to PHP (php.ini  or ssh2.ini)
 
# echo "extension=ssh2.so" >  /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini

or

# echo "extension=ssh2.so"  > /etc/php.ini

Step 4 : Finally restart your web server
 
# service restart httpd.service

Now, check the module whether is configure with PHP,
 
# php -m | grep ssh2
ssh2


Also can  check in your phpinfo();
