How do I upload and include my own PHP libraries in my Windows Fusion website?

PHP settings can be viewed by going to ‘www.yourdomain.tld/phpinfo.php’.

You can customize certain PHP directives in your PHP configuration file. To access this file, log in to your site via your preferred FTP client.

You will see several folders on the right, one of them being PHP.

If you open up that folder, you will see a file called php.ini.

This folder will already have several directives configured. You can place your additional PHP directives in this file. Since the web server is continuously monitoring changes to this configuration file, you should notice these changes take place immediately.
