Requirements
============
Web server
----------
Since phpMyAdmin's interface is based entirely in your browser, you'll need a
web server (such as Apache, nginx, :term:`IIS`) to install phpMyAdmin's files into.
PHP
---
* You need PHP 7.1.0 or newer, with ``session`` support, the Standard PHP Library
(SPL) extension, hash, ctype, and JSON support.
* The ``mbstring`` extension (see :term:`mbstring`) is strongly recommended
for performance reasons.
* To support uploading of ZIP files, you need the PHP ``zip`` extension.
* You need GD2 support in PHP to display inline thumbnails of JPEGs
("image/jpeg: inline") with their original aspect ratio.
* When using the cookie authentication (the default), the `openssl
<https://secure.php.net/openssl>`_ extension is strongly suggested.
* To support upload progress bars, see :ref:`faq2_9`.
* To support XML and Open Document Spreadsheet importing, you need the
`libxml <https://secure.php.net/libxml>`_ extension.
* To support reCAPTCHA on the login page, you need the
`openssl <https://secure.php.net/openssl>`_ extension.
* To support displaying phpMyAdmin's latest version, you need to enable
``allow_url_open`` in your :file:`php.ini` or to have the
`curl <https://secure.php.net/curl>`_ extension.
.. seealso:: :ref:`faq1_31`, :ref:`authentication_modes`
Database
--------
phpMyAdmin supports MySQL-compatible databases.
* MySQL 5.5 or newer
* MariaDB 5.5 or newer
.. seealso:: :ref:`faq1_17`
Web browser
-----------
To access phpMyAdmin you need a web browser with cookies and JavaScript
enabled.
