PHP Settings | Product Documentation

Each site or application might require a different set of PHP settings. For example, If you want to upload something heavy (More than 300MB) on your site, You would have to update PHP directive upload_max_filesize.

Some WordPress plugins might have requirements for a specific PHP setting too! With ServerKade, You can manage the following PHP settings for each and every application hosted on the server.

With ServerKade, you can change the basic settings for your applications by simple steps. You get all the PHP versions from v7.2 to v8.3 active and ready to use. You can run different sites/applications on different PHP versions.

1. PHP Version:
   Different applications or sites might require different PHP versions on your server to run successfully. The default PHP version is set to v8.0, but you can set a different version while creating an application. You can also update it after the application is deployed on the server.

2. upload_max_filesize:
   Upload_max_filesize is a directive that determines the maximum size of an uploaded file. When a file is uploaded through a web form or any other method, PHP checks the size of the file against this setting.

3. post_max_size:
   Post_max_size directive in PHP settings determines the maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. POST data refers to the information sent to the server from a form submission using the HTTP POST method.

   The max_execution_time setting in PHP determines the maximum amount of time that a PHP script is allowed to run before it’s terminated forcibly by the server.

5. max_input_time:
   The max_input_time directive in PHP settings determines the maximum amount of time that PHP will wait for input data to be sent from the client to the server.

6. max_input_vars:
   The max_input_vars directive in PHP settings determines the maximum number of input variables that PHP will accept from a client request.

7. memory_limit:
   The memory_limit directive in PHP settings determines the maximum amount of memory that a PHP script is allowed to allocate and use during its execution.

8. open_basedir:
   It defines a list of directories from which PHP scripts are allowed to access files, effectively limiting the file system paths that PHP scripts can interact with.

9. Disabled Functions:
   Disabled_functions directive is a security feature that allows administrators to specify a list of PHP functions that are disabled or restricted from being executed within PHP scripts.
