Php modules disappeared after upgrading php [solved]

I run a Apache server with php enabled which was running fine until I upgraded php and php-apache (5.6.15-3 -> 5.6.16-3)  with the command

pacman -Syyu

Now,  some php modules are missing

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/gettext.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/gettext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/iconv.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/iconv.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/openssl.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/openssl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

And as a matter of fact, if I look at the directory

ls /usr/lib/php/modules
gd.so  geoip.so

Only modules that were installed from a separate packages are around, and everything else is gone.  Next time, I will make a backup before doing any update, but in the meantime,
what can I do to recover the lost modules?

If this helps, php on command line segfaults.

Re: Php modules disappeared after upgrading php [solved]

Actually it sufficed to reinstall php to solve the problem.  (I had reinstalled apache, php-apache, mariadb etc., everything but php before making the post...)
