Hi, i wish there will be an option for us to add plugins like in CPanel, where it will let you add plugins to php.

This is a good idea sometimes, we need extra PHP extensions, but we can't see them, so adding this option can help us greatly.

Agreed. It would be nice (critical for some projects) to be able to configure which PHP Extensions are installed.

The problem can be solved if Spanel works with Cloudlinux to have it integrated since cloudlinux comes with PHP selector, cageFS, Mysql Governor and a user can select extensions from their control panel. Vote for this link below.

This is mainly aimed at people that want it as a standalone panel. Not everyone wants cloudlinux.

Which PHP extensions do you need that were not installed by default? It is very rare someone would need a PHP extension that was missing.

This feature is a must have. When I enter PHP settings from the panel, I should be able to see active and passive plugins and enable or disable them.

Could someone give me an example with an extension they needed to install which was not already installed by default?

Vlad - Yes, I have an example.  I needed PHP GD extension installed.  So after a quick chat with support to confirm it wasn't possible in sPanel, I added it via command line.

The PHP GD extension is installed by default. I'm not sure what happened in your case but it sounds like a glitch in case the extension was missing. It is very rare someone would need an extension which is not already installed.

@Vlad, an example that I can give to assist with this is that I need to make sure things like Ioncube 12 is loaded for some PHP versions and not 10. it is possible to share my current server profile json profile to give you an example of the various softwares, modules, perl, pecl modules, etc?

@wimhsupport, Ioncube 12 is loaded for all PHP versions in SPanel. We always load the latest version. I don't see how sharing a json profile is helpful here. I just wanted to see which PHP extensions you see missing in SPanel. Such requests are so rare that it makes more sense to install them manually instead of spending dev time to develop something which will not be often used. Intsead, it would be more valuable to spend the dev time on integrating Docker, MongoDB, add reseller functionality, SSO etc.

It would be great if the administrator and users can easily manage PHP extensions (add/remove). So just like in cPanel. I think it's a feature that should definitely be added.

Thank you for your input. This feature is now planned for development.
