PHP Functions

So I bought some webhosting here, and a ticket I submitted hasn't had a response yet. I'm trying to enable some PHP functions required for the forums software I have installed, but I just don't know how to do it. Everything I've tried doesn't seem to work. Anyone able to help? Also, not sure if this should go here, but it seems like it kinda fits. If not oh well.

Are you getting some kind of error?

What PHP version does the server run?

They seem to be running PHP 5.6.40, but I've just updated it to 7.1.29. What should I be doing in the first place to enable PHP functions? My previous host had the same problem and I also had to contact them to help me out with it. Not entirely sure what they did though.

I know CPanel has some PHP extentions you can activate



Not sure if you're looking for something like this?

After looking into it a little bit, that does seem to be what I'm looking for, but the functions I need enabled are exec and proc_open I believe. Which extension contains those?

For the exec and proc_open you need to be in the php.ini

If you can access this file, you need to search for;

Remove the exec and proc_open

Huh. I guess I must just not have access to it then. That sucks.

can u access the server via some kind of remotedesktop? also on wich operating system is ur server running?

if u can access search for this disable_functions = show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, phpinfo, popen, proc_open
