One of the most common support tickets we receive is help with errors related to PHP.

From **increasing memory limits**, to **adding extensions**, to **upgrading to the latest and greatest** versions, we realize customer need to be able to take FULL control over PHP without having to be some type of coding guru.

At NameHero we have done away with “old school” *custom php.ini files* and allow everything to be t**aken care of inside of cPanel**. Regardless your hosting package with us ([shared](https://www.namehero.com/web-hosting.php) or [reseller](https://www.namehero.com/reseller-hosting.php)) you can **take full control of PHP** for your specific site.

Rather than type up a bunch of boring text, I decided to film some of the most-common PHP related issues and the exact steps how to solve them:

## How To Increase Your PHP Upload/Memory Limit

**Why You Would Need To Increase Your PHP Upload/Memory Limit:**

- Getting memory exhausted errors on your website
- Website loads the “blank” white page of “death”
- WordPress plugin(s) don’t function
- Cannot upload images/media inside of WordPress
- Cannot upload certain files

## How To Change Your PHP Version

**Why You Would Need To Change Your PHP Version**

- You’re wanting to test the latest version of PHP for performance
- You are running outdated scripts that only work with older versions of PHP (not recommended)
- You are developing software and want to see how it performs on different versions
- Software you’re using requires a particular version of PHP

## How To Add PHP Extensions

**Why You Would Need To Add PHP Extensions**

- PHP Scripts you’re using on your website require them (most common)
- You need to activate Ioncube loader on your website
- You need to use a particular extension such as PDO, mcrypt, mbstring, regex, etc.
- You need to remove an extension such as suhosin or OPCache
