My Mautic version is: 4.4.2  
My PHP version is: PHP Version 8.0.23  
My Database type and version is: 10.4.20-MariaDB-log

Hi, I have recomendation notification.

But,i check there is no php.ini on my Mautic Folder or can not fine php.ini on this folder /usr/php80/etc/php.ini. This folder /usr/php80/etc doesn’t exist.

Should i create php.ini and add 1 line for `zend.assertions = -1`?

This is php setting and it has nothing to do with mautic.

You should find the config option in PHP ini file usually inside /etc/php folder and adjust it. When you have adjusted it, restart the php service / web server for config to take an effect.

And also backup the current php ini file so you can revert back if something goes bad.

Hi @mzagmajster

That is the problem, i can not find this path /etc/php  
my mautic folder doesn’t have this folder. There’s no hidden file or hidden folder.  
I am using Stackcp panel.

**Here is the only php.ini in my mautic**

**And here are the php folder, not found any /etc/php folder**
