PHP Requirements

Flextype needs PHP 8.1.0 or higher and the following PHP extensions to be enabled:

• mbstring module for full UTF-8 support.
• gd or ImageMagick module for image processing.
• json module for JSON manipulation.
• Fileinfo for the creation, copying, deletion, moving, and opening of files
• SPL standard PHP Library.
• DOM allows you to operate on XML documents through the DOM API with PHP

Although it is optional, we strongly recommend enabling the following PHP extensions: APC, APCu, XCache, Memcached, or Redis for better performance. Also, with the help of YAML PECL (native YAML processing), you can dramatically increase performance.
