PHP Versions and Modules

PHP Versions

Each website has control of its own PHP (opens new window) version. By default, 7.4 is configured on all new websites added to an Enhance cluster. Additional domains mapped to a website (add-on domains) use the same PHP version as the primary (root) domain.

Enhance currently supports the following PHP versions. More are being added.

• PHP 8.2
• PHP 8.1
• PHP 8.0
• PHP 7.4
• PHP 7.3
• PHP 7.2
• PHP 7.1
• PHP 7.0
• PHP 5.6

Brotli

Enhance ships with the brotli extension (opens new window) but this is not enabled by default. To enable it:

1. Run /usr/sbin/chrootbuilder to ensure you have the latest PHP container base images.
2. In the UI, under developer tools, add a php.ini setting with the directive extension and the value brotli.so.
3. If the extension does not show in phpinfo() immediately, you can force a restart of the PHP container. Either pkill -9 -u website_user or toggle the PHP version in the control panel.
