Viewing PHP settings with phpinfo Function

During web development, you need to check your PHP settings as often as possible. To do this, run a script that calls the phpinfo() function. When you load a page in a web browser, the script shows all the PHP configuration settings for your website.

How to use the phpinfo() function to view PHP settings:

  1. Create a file containing the following code:
    <?php
        phpinfo();
    ?>
  2. Save the file as info.php or something similar.
  3. Upload the file to your public_html directory.
  4. In a browser, navigate to http://example.com/info.php, where example.com is your website’s domain name. The page displays a lot of information about installing PHP.
    For security reasons, you should disable any calls to the phpinfo() function when website development and testing are complete.
