PHP info & configuration in CentOS Web Panel

Most of the present websites run on PHP w/ MySQL/MariaDB. So it’s very important for a web hosting admin to know PHP information and to configure the PHP settings.

To view the PHP settings:

1. Go to CWP admin panel
2. Look for PHP Settings menu
3. Here you can view PHP settings in three entries:
   – PHP Info – very detailed info about your PHP system
   – PHP short info – list of the PHP modules
   – PHP Addons – list of the PHP addons

To edit the PHP settings:

1. Go to CWP admin panel
2. Look for PHP Settings menu
3. Here you can view PHP settings in two entries:
   – PHP Simple Editor – here you can edit fast only a few PHP settings – these are: memory_limit, upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, max_execution_time, display_errors and date.timezone
   – PHP.ini Configuration – here you will have access to edit the PHP configuration file, which is /usr/local/php/php.ini 

You can also get PHP information from the command line:

[root@cwp1 ~]# php -i

or

[root@cwp1 ~]# php -m

and many other commands.

To get configuration values from a script use the PHP function ini_get
