As we support multiple versions of PHP, each version can differ slightly in what PHP modules they support. Further below is a list of all the PHP versions we support on our shared hosting platform along with the modules that are installed for them. 

However, there are also a couple of ways to check PHP modules yourself as well.

Checking modules using a PHPinfo file

You could create a PHPinfo file within the hosting which will show this information. To do this you would need to: 

  1. Create a new PHP file, such as info.php, where your website files are hosted. 
  2. Add the following code to the file: 
<?php 
phpinfo(); 
?>

3. Access the file directly in a browser (e.g., domain.com/info.php). This page will show off a lot of information about the current PHP version you have set on the hosting package.

Security Note: PHPinfo files can expose sensitive information. It's advisable to delete the PHPinfo file after checking your PHP version. 

Checking modules using SSH

If you connect to the package using SSH then you can run a command to check the modules on any version of PHP you would like. An example of that command is: 

php83 -m 

This would show a list of all the modules for PHP 8.1. If you want to check a different version then you only need to change the number to the PHP version you wish to check. 

Supported Modules 

Below is a list of modules for all of the PHP versions we currently support on our shared hosting platform:
