 * A little advice please …
 * After moving servers, we’re having a few problems with which version of PHP to
   use and which PHP modules typically need to be installed to prevent issues with
   the majority of installations/plugins.
 * From this list ([click here](http://www.cmykreative.com/php-modules.jpg)) … which
   are the ones that are needed or should be enabled as standard? Which are never
   required? Which might be sometimes required?
 * Also, any php.ini tweaks recommended to ensure smooth, speedy running?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * To be honest, I’m not sure, but I’ve never had trouble with the default PHP configurations.
 * If it a plugin requires a module which isn’t installed, it should let you know.
 * WordPress requires PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (though we’re beginning to see
   some plugins requiring 5.4 or greater) and recommends suPHP.

 * OK, thanks James. I was looking for a list of what the modules are that are commonly
   installed/enabled on WP hosted sites to see if we can get a default set worked
   out for our clients.

 * I have never really seen such a list in all these years. WordPress just seems
   to work with the default PHP configuration, so I don’t think there’s ever been
   a need for one. 🙂
