My site needs a PHP extension. How can I check whether my hosting supports it?
Note the exact extension name and the application's requirements, including its supported PHP version. Check the hosting service's technical information or PHP settings, if available. An extension may be available for one PHP version but not another. If you have terminal access, php -m lists the modules loaded by the command-line PHP version, which may differ from the version running your website.
To check the web environment, use your application's diagnostics or ask your provider to confirm whether the extension is available for your site. Do not leave diagnostic pages containing server information publicly accessible. If the extension is missing, check whether it can be enabled and confirm compatibility before changing the configuration.
