Recommended PHP modules that I should install

Post by seodevhead »

Hey guys... thanks so much for your help as I continue to configure my new dedicated server.

My host is offering to install any PHP modules that I may want on the new server. Any suggestions of some modules that I should definitely have installed? I really don't know that much about modules, but figured I'd ask you guys for your suggestions on what I should ask for. Thanks!

You are referring to extensions I suppose?
Some common extensions I can think of:
GD (graphics manipulation)
mysqli (improved mysql extension)
CURL (URL library functions)
