Termux-packages: CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "php": library "libreadline.so.8" not found Aborted

[Allistar101]

This is the error I receive when I try and use php: I typed just ( php )
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "php": library "libreadline.so.8" not found Aborted

When I try and host a php server it reads:
Aborted php -S 127.0.0.1:$port > /dev/null 2>&1

I think it may be an issue with either libreadline 8 not being found or something with version 7

I looked in my /data/data/com.termux/files/home/usr/lib and so some files I think my be related
I saw libreadline.so, libreadline.so.8 and libreadline.so.8.0
libreadline.so and libreadline.so.8 both displayed in blue text. libreadline.so.8.0 was in green text.

So I ran this command: apt show headline -a
It displayed the following:

Steps to reproduce
The error displays whenever I type php or any php command

Expected behavior
With the php server I expected to host a website from local host via serveo with the locator tool by @thelinuxchoice, But know php won't run either.

I added photos below to show my errors, I really need to fix this urgently and would gladly accept any help that can be provided. If you need more info that I didn't include here just let me know.

You have readline 7 installed. php is asking for libreadline.so.8. Here .8 stands for version 8.
Update your readline package. (on a sidenote: it is always advised to not selectively update packages in termux since the dependency data in packages includes no version information)

Thanks man this was causing a lot of issues. Great response timing.

I was with this problem, but I installed the readline and this resolved it

[syntaxseed]

To update readline do:

pkg install readline

==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version.
...etc

(Choose first (Y) option if you get this message.)
