Azure-docs: Configure PHP extension in Web App for Linux

[Anand-Moghe]

I came across this link which talks about configuring PHP extension for Web App (using code) on Windows.
Similarly is there a way to configure PHP extension (PECL or PEAR) for Web App (using code) for Linux ?

Also, if you need to include additional dependencies for Linux PHP app, you can use Composer to install them. This tutorial shows how to use a .deployment file to invoke the custom deployment script to run “php composer.phar install” command.
