Before proceeding with this tutorial check the architecture of your PHP within the phpinfo (). Accessing the phpinfo of your scriptcase, for example http://127.0.0.1:8092/scriptcase/info.php, you will find the PHP architecture.

PHP architecture

  • Architecture x86 = 32 bits
  • Architecture x64 = 64 bits

If you are using Scriptcase automatic installer the PHP architecture will be the same as the installer you downloaded.
