PHP Versions

You choose a PHP version when you launch an instance, and you can change it later. The version applies to both FPM and the PHP command line, so your web requests and your scripts run the same PHP.

Available Versions

  • 5.6
  • 7.0
  • 7.1
  • 7.2
  • 7.3
  • 7.4
  • 8.0
  • 8.1
  • 8.2
  • 8.3
  • 8.4

The default is 8.1.

Changing the Version

Change the version from the Overview tab, under Application settings. See Changing PHP versions for the full steps.

Warning

Changing the PHP version restarts the instance, so expect a brief moment of downtime.
