Description
For the list of https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/handbook/server-environment/#php-extensions, I suggest these extensions to be listed:
- Required:
- iconv (
/wp-mail.php,wp-includes/formatting.php, SimplePie, etc. uses this) - mbstring (performance, stability: see #34631 to learn that not every
mb_*()function has a fallback in WP) - zip (plugin unpacking, see
wp-admin/file.php)
- iconv (
- Recommended:
- opcache (performance, needs no introduction)
These changes should also affect the Site Health component brought in WordPress 5.2.

The list on w.org is updated and now includes the required extensions listed above.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Please note, on PHP 5.6 xcache or APC can be used instead of opcache, WinCache can be used on Windows platform. SiteHealth shoulnt produce a warning if alternate PHP opcode cacher is present.
