How to edit php.ini on shared servers from ftps

With the help of PHP Selector implemented on our shared servers, you can easily modify basic PHP settings in your cPanel > section Software/Services > Select PHP Versionmenu.
However, advanced PHP settings are missing from PHP Selector tool, and they need to be manually configured in the php.ini file. Feel free to download php.ini for different PHP versions below in the Attachments section at the end of the guide.

When all updates are completed, make sure that you rename the file to php.ini. In order for the php.ini to work add Lsapi_phpini directive.

To find out the current PHP version and configuration, refer to the below steps.

How to check PHP version and configuration

There are two ways to check PHP version set for the account. By default, we have PHP 5.6 set on our shared servers.
To check what PHP version is selected for your account go to cPanel > Software section > Select PHP versionmenu:

You will see the current PHP version above PHP extensions:



Another way to check PHP version is PHPinfo() function, commonly used to check the current state of PHP configuration. It can also be used for debugging purposes as it contains all EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie, Server) data.
