Use of undefined constant SODIUM_LIBRARY_MAJOR_VERSION - assumed 'SODIUM_LIBRARY_MAJOR_VERSION

[eaponiente]

PHP: 7.1
Ubuntu: 14.04

followed all the instructions in the website and last part was put sodium.so in my
/etc/php/fpm/php.ini.

now to test it out, I tried the ff code in php artisan tinker(ran in command line) inside one of my laravel projects

var_dump([
    SODIUM_LIBRARY_MAJOR_VERSION,
    SODIUM_LIBRARY_MINOR_VERSION,
    SODIUM_LIBRARY_VERSION
]);

and got this results

array(2) {
  [0] =>
  int(9)
  [1] =>
  int(1)
  [2] =>
  string(6) "1.0.14"
}

Now, when I tried the code on my browser.

I am getting this error Use of undefined constant SODIUM_LIBRARY_MAJOR_VERSION - assumed 'SODIUM_LIBRARY_MAJOR_VERSION

I'm not entirely sure what the problem here could be.

Is this a bug with the PHP extension that you intended to report upstream? Or do you want us to expose this constant in the PHP 7.2 version of the polyfill too?

[paragonie-scott]

If you're looking to fix your PECL configuration, there's not much help I can offer.

But if you wanted the polyfill to include these constants, it does in 1.8.0.

Thanks for the very helpful response. I only needed to restart the server in order for it to work. lol
