Once you’ve clicked the “Select PHP Version” icon, you’ll see the PHP versions dashboard. NOTE: if yours shows “native” you will either need to select another PHP version OR contact our support. If you’re already using an alternate PHP version, you’ll need to click “Switch to PHP Options” on the far right side.
