More PHP Extensions

  • It could check for:

    GD
    imagick
    mbstring (at least if not en_US)
    mysqli (nd_mysqli, mysqlind, mysqli)
    others that WP might use if loaded, like xml*, dom and intl?
    Upload/post max bytes not below 25 MB

    Hiya,

    What are of the plugin were you considering for this?

    I know some of that information is already available in the debug section for example, so I’d love to see what you had in mind surrounding it.

    I don’t full understand your question, but since it checks for PHP JSON extension loaded on the status page, I think there are other PHP extensions that might be checked, too. But only those used by WordPress core itself, default themes or very commonly used with major plugins.

    GD is necessary for image editing?
    imagick is even better?
    mysqli better than mysql
    etc.

    I can look at the full list from phpinfo() but some are essential, like JSON, so could deserve a place on the status screen.

    Ahh, I see what you mean.

    Yes, that’s a pretty good idea, adding a section for “Minimum required assets” or similar, and then bundle them, the JSON check would be part of that bundle then, so as not to provide information overload we would only show what is missing, I don’t think we’ll do recommendations in that section since it may be subjective depending on hosting environments, and they tie together to various things, but I like that!

    I’ve created a GitHub issue for it at https://github.com/WordPress/health-check/issues/169, and I’ve already milestoned it for version 1.3
