The following settings control cPanel & WHM’s internal PHP. Your web server does not use these settings. To configure your web server’s PHP settings, use WHM’s MultiPHP INI Editor interface (WHM » Home » Software » MultiPHP INI Editor).

Note:
These settings update cPanel & WHM’s internal php.ini files. Your cPanel & WHM installation will overwrite direct edits to these files.

The PHP section includes the following settings:
