PHP Version Switching

Blaze lets you run different PHP versions on each site independently. Switch between PHP 8.1 through 8.5 without restarting your entire environment.

Changing PHP Version

1. Open a site from the sidebar
2. Click the PHP version badge on the site detail view
3. Select a new version from the dropdown
4. The site will automatically restart with the new PHP version

Each site runs its own PHP-FPM pool on a dedicated port, so changing one site’s PHP version doesn’t affect others.

Available Versions

Version	Port
PHP 8.1	9081
PHP 8.2	9082
PHP 8.3	9083
PHP 8.4	9084
PHP 8.5	9085

Installing Additional PHP Versions

If you didn’t install a PHP version during first launch, you can add it later:

1. Open Settings (gear icon in the sidebar)
2. Go to the Components section
3. Click “Download” next to the PHP version you want
4. Once downloaded, the version becomes available for all sites

Default PHP Version

Set a default PHP version in Settings that will be pre-selected when creating new sites.
