List the default version

The default PHP version for a user determines which PHP version will be used for all domains that the user adds in the future. It does not change the PHP version for any existing domains.

To list the currently set default PHP version for a user, run the following command:

opencli php-default_version <USERNAME>

Example:

bash
# opencli php-default_version stefan
Default PHP version for user 'stefan' is: php8.3

Change the default version

To update the default PHP version for a user use the php-default_version with --update flag and provide the new PHP version.

bash
opencli php-default_version <USERNAME> --update <VERSION>

Example:

bash
# opencli php-default_version stefan --update 8.1
PHP version for user 'stefan' updated to: 8.1

List installed versions

To list all installed PHP versions for a user, run the following command:

bash
opencli php-installed_versions <USERNAME>

Example:

bash
# opencli php-installed_versions stefan
php7.4
php8.1

List available versions

To get available (that can be installed) PHP versions for users' OS, run the following command:

bash
opencli php-available_versions <USERNAME>

Example:

bash
# opencli php-available_versions stefan
....
PHP versions for user stefan have been updated and stored in /home/stefan/etc/.panel/php/php_available_versions.json.

The script will by default update users' available PHP versions setting for the UI, optionally you can add --show flag to display the available versions.

bash
opencli php-available_versions <USERNAME> --show

The available_versions script performs various actions:

  • optionally display the listf
