Overview

cPanel & WHM includes PHP 8.3 and its modules as a set of packages. This includes the associated PEAR and PECL packages and PHP loaders.
  • PEAR and PECL packages are software components from the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) and the PHP Extension Community Library (PECL).
  • A PHP loader allows PHP to execute encoded applications. Loaders ensure that others cannot access your PHP code.
Note:
These are cPanel & WHM’s internal PHP packages. To view EasyApache 4’s PHP packages, read our  PHP Options  documentation.

The php.ini file

cPanel & WHM PHP uses a php.ini file to customize internal PHP settings.
Important:
If you edit the cPanel & WHM php.ini file directly, the system will overwrite your changes. Use the PHP section of the  Tweak Settings  interface (WHM » Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings) to retain changes to cPanel & WHM’s php.ini file.
This file is not the EasyApache 4 php.ini file. To learn more about your EasyApache 4 php.ini files, read our  About PHP  documentation.
