- display_errors
- opcache.enable
Furthermore the following two parameters are being shown:
- max_memory_limit
- max_execution_time
PHP Version
A newer version of PHP brings new features, performance optimisations and important security updates. Here you select the PHP version to be used for your domain. If you are using a CMS such as WordPress, check up to which version your WordPress version, themes and installed plug-ins are supported.
Note: We recommend that you always use the latest PHP version.
allow_furl_fopen
Allows your web application to access remote files and scripts that are not located on the same web server where your own web data and files are located.
Note: If not necessary for technical reasons, we recommend that you deactivate this option.
allow_url_include
Allows the following PHP functions to be executed for the fopen wrapper:
Note: This setting requires the previous parameter allow_furl_fopen to be activated.
display_errors
With this setting, error messages and log messages from the web server are displayed directly on the website.
Note: For security reasons, this value should always be deactivated when the website is visible on the Internet.
opcache.enable
OPCache offers PHP the option of saving so-called bytecode into cache memory when executing and compiling PHP scripts. This then makes the website load faster and generally improves performance.
Note: We recommend that you leave this option activated.
max_memory_limit
This value indicates the maximum amount of memory that a PHP script may use when running.
Note: A larger hosting package offers you a higher maximum memory space.
max_execution_time
This value tells you how long in seconds a PHP script can be executed before it is cancelled.
Note: A larger hosting package offers you a longer execution time for PHP scripts.
