How to Enable PHP Extension in Cpanel?

In cPanel, you can enable the PHP extension for a specific PHP version using the "Select PHP Version" tool. Here are the general steps:

1. Log in to cPanel: Log in to your cPanel account using your credentials.

2. Locate "Select PHP Version": Look for the "Select PHP Version" or "PHP Selector" option in your cPanel dashboard. It's usually located under the "Software" or "Software and Services" section. The exact location may vary depending on the cPanel theme and version.

3. Open "Select PHP Version": Click on the "Select PHP Version" option to open the PHP Selector tool.

4. Choose PHP Version: In the PHP Selector, you'll see a dropdown list of available PHP versions. Choose the version for which you want to enable the PHP extension.

5. Example: Enable GD Extension: After selecting the PHP version, look for the "Extensions" tab or a similar option. In this section, you should find a list of available PHP extensions. Look for "gd" and check the box next to it to enable the GD extension.

6. Save Changes: Once you've selected the PHP version and enabled the GD extension, look for a "Save" or "Apply" button. Click this button to save your changes.

7. Verify GD Extension: After saving the changes, you can verify whether the GD extension is enabled by creating a PHP file with the following content:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Upload this file to your web server and access it through a web browser. Look for the GD section in the PHP configuration to confirm that the extension is now enabled.

Keep in mind that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on your cPanel version and theme. If you have difficulty finding the "Select PHP Version" tool or enabling the specific PHP extension, consider contacting our support for assistance.
