- 🎯 **Plugin-Focused**: Essential functionality plugin developers need

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or later
- WordPress 5.0 or later

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

[](#usage)

### Server Detection

[](#server-detection)

```
use ArrayPress\ServerUtils\Server;

// Check server type
if ( Server::is_apache() ) {
	// Apache-specific code
}

if ( Server::is_nginx() ) {
	// Nginx-specific code
}

// Get server info
$info = Server::get_info();
// Returns: ['type' => 'Apache', 'software' => 'Apache/2.4.41']

// Check capabilities
if ( Server::supports_htaccess() ) {
	// Can use .htaccess files
}

if ( Server::has_mod_rewrite() ) {
	// mod_rewrite available
}
```

### Environment Detection

[](#environment-detection)

```
use ArrayPress\ServerUtils\Environment;

// Environment checks
if ( Environment::is_localhost() ) {
	// Local development
}

if ( Environment::is_staging() ) {
	// Staging environment
}

if ( Environment::is_production() ) {
	// Production environment
}

// Get environment type
$env = Environment::get_type(); // 'localhost', 'staging', 'production'

// Hosting platform detection
$platform = Environment::get_hosting_platform(); // 'WP Engine', 'Kinsta', etc.

// Container detection
if ( Environment::is_docker() ) {
	// Running in Docker
}
```

### PHP Configuration

[](#php-configuration)

```
use ArrayPress\ServerUtils\PHP;

// Version checks
if ( PHP::meets_version_requirement( '8.0' ) ) {
	// PHP 8.0+
}

// Extension checks
if ( PHP::has_extension( 'curl' ) ) {
	// cURL available
}

// Memory checks
if ( PHP::has_sufficient_memory( '256M' ) ) {
	// Enough memory
}

// Get values
$memory_limit  = PHP::get_memory_limit();
$max_execution = PHP::get_max_execution_time();
$upload_max    = PHP::get_upload_max_filesize();

// Function availability
if ( PHP::has_function( 'exec' ) ) {
	// exec() available and not disabled
}

// Use WordPress core functions for size conversion
$bytes    = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( '256M' ); // WordPress core
$readable = size_format( 268435456 ); // WordPress core
```

### System Information

[](#system-information)

```
use ArrayPress\ServerUtils\System;

// OS detection
if ( System::is_linux() ) {
	// Linux-specific code
}

if ( System::is_windows() ) {
	// Windows-specific code
}

// Disk space
$disk = System::get_disk_space();
// Returns: ['total' => ..., 'free' => ..., 'used' => ..., 'percent' => ...]

if ( System::has_sufficient_disk_space( '1G' ) ) {
	// At least 1GB available
}

// System load (Unix systems)
$load = System::get_load_average(); // [1min, 5min, 15min]

if ( System::is_high_load( 2.0 ) ) {
	// Load above 2.0
}
```
