# 🧬 PHP Settings

WC Studio gives you direct access to essential PHP configuration values for your store — no server access required. These settings help you adjust performance, file upload limits, and script behavior.

***

## 📍 Go to: WC Studio → Stores → Select a Store → Settings → PHP

## 🧠 Current PHP Version

| Field           | Description                                     |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **PHP Version** | Current PHP runtime for your store (e.g. `8.4`) |

> ⚠️ Note: PHP version is by default managed by WC Studio for stability and compatibility. You may choose custom PHP version, or you may contact support.

| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Max Execution Time** (`max_execution_time`)       | `30 sec`      | Maximum time a script is allowed to run before timeout.                        |
| **Max Input Time** (`max_input_time`)               | `-1 sec`      | Maximum time a script can spend parsing input data. `-1` = unlimited.          |
| **Max Input Vars** (`max_input_vars`)               | `1000`        | Max number of input variables per request (form fields, query params).         |
| **Memory Limit** (`memory_limit`)                   | `128 MB`      | Maximum amount of memory a script can consume.                                 |

## 💡 Tips for Store Owners

* ✅ Increase **upload size** limits if you're uploading large images, videos, or product files.
* ✅ Use a **higher memory limit** if you're running multiple heavy plugins or page builders.
* ✅ Set `max_execution_time` higher if you're importing large product catalogs.
* ✅ Leave `allow_url_fopen` enabled if you're using external API integrations.
