How to install GMP in PHP Selector for PHP 8.1, 8.2?

To install the GMP (GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library) extension for PHP 8.1 and 8.2 using the PHP Selector, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Access the PHP Selector:

    • Log in to your server or hosting panel.
    • Navigate to the section where you can manage PHP versions and extensions. This might be labeled as "PHP Selector," "PHP Configuration," or something similar, depending on your hosting environment.
  2. Select the PHP Version:

    • Choose either PHP 8.1 or PHP 8.2 from the available versions. Make sure the PHP version you select is compatible with the GMP extension.
  3. Enable GMP Extension:

    • Look for an option to enable or install extensions for the selected PHP version. This might be labeled as "Extensions," "Modules," or something similar.

    • Locate the GMP extension in the list of available extensions. It might be listed as "GMP" or "php-GMP".

    • Check the box or toggle next to GMP to enable it.

  4. Save Changes:

    • After enabling the GMP extension, save your changes. This may involve clicking a "Save" or "Apply" button.
  5. Verify Installation:

    • To confirm that GMP is installed and active, you can create a PHP file (e.g., phpinfo.php) with the following content:
    php
  1. <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    • Upload this file to your server and access it through a web browser. Look for the GMP section in the PHP configuration information. This section should display details about the GMP extension if it's installed and enabled.
  2. Restart the Web Server:

    • After making changes to PHP extensions, it's a good practice to restart your web server to ensure the changes take effect.

Remember, the exact steps and interface may vary depending on your hosting provider and control panel. If you encounter any issues or are unsure about any step, consider consulting your hosting provider's support or documentation for specific instructions related to your environment.
