For more advanced users, the PHP.INI Editor can be used - if available.


How to Change PHP Options

  1. Open OpenPanel and navigate to PHP > PHP Options.
  2. Select the desired PHP version from the dropdown.
  3. Modify the options you want to change.
  4. Click Save to apply changes.

Settings will be saved to the php.ini file for the selected PHP version, and the PHP container will restart to apply changes immediately. These settings apply to all domains using that PHP version.


Available Options

The list of configurable PHP options is determined by the system administrator. By default, the following options are available:

  • allow_url_fopen
  • date.timezone
  • disable_functions
  • display_errors
  • error_reporting
  • file_uploads
  • log_errors
  • max_execution_time
  • max_input_time
  • max_input_vars
  • memory_limit
  • open_basedir
  • output_buffering
  • post_max_size
  • short_open_tag
  • upload_max_filesize
  • zlib.output_compression

Customizing Available Options

Administrators can customize the available options:

  • For all new users: Edit /etc/openpanel/php/options.txt
  • For a specific user: Edit /home/USERNAME/php.ini/options.txt

Important Notes

Some PHP options cannot be configured from this page. Instead, they must be set on the PHP Limits page:

  • max_execution_time
  • max_input_time
  • max_input_vars
  • memory_limit
  • post_max_size
  • upload_max_filesize

These limits are enforced at the container level and require a different configuration method.
