The php.ini file gives you access to PHP settings, which are essential for the performance and security of your website. For most WordPress sites, the preset configurations are likely to be optimal. We only recommend changing them if you are an advanced user. Always create a backup of your site before making any changes to PHP configuration.
It's important to note that managing PHP versions and phpMyAdmin are two separate and unrelated tasks.
Understanding PHP variables
PHP settings are controlled by variables found in the 'php.ini' file. These variables affect the behaviour of your PHP scripts and can be customized to improve performance, enhance security, and accommodate the unique requirements of your website. Some key PHP variables include 'memory_limit', 'max_execution_time', 'upload_max_filesize', 'post_max_size', 'display_errors', and 'error_reporting'.

Should you Adjust the PHP Variables?
PHP settings are useful for optimizing script execution, managing resource consumption, enhancing security, configuring paths for tools, enabling server logs, and improving performance using caching mechanisms. Next to each variable on the Rapyd dashboard, we set out information describing their various uses. However, for most WordPress sites, the default settings are likely to be optimal. We only recommend changing them if you are an advanced user.
