phpinfo(); Outputs a large amount of information about the current state of PHP. This includes information about PHP compilation options and extensions, the PHP version, server information and environment (if compiled as a module), the PHP environment, OS version information, paths, master and local values of configuration options, HTTP headers, and the PHP License.

Because every system is setup differently, phpinfo() is commonly used to check configuration settings and for available predefined variables on a given system. Also, phpinfo() is a valuable debugging tool as it contains all EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie, Server) data.

Below is the simple code for the phpinfo.php and upload in the web site and open in browser to see the PHP details

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

A phpinfo.php file is a file that makes it easier for us to see information about your server. While it doesn't include version information about MySQL, it does include version information about PHP, Apache/IIS, GD, and other things. It also contains a description of many important settings, which could possibly be causing problems with your installation.

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
The best things in using PHP are that it is extremely simple for a newcomer, but offers many advanced features for a professional programmer. Don't be afraid reading the long list of PHP's features. You can jump in, in a short time, and start writing simple scripts in a few hours.

Although PHP's development is focused on server-side scripting, you can do much more with it. Read on, and see more in the What can PHP do? section, or go right to the introductory tutorial if you are only interested in web programming...

PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor, and refers to a server-side scripting language. PHP is used commonly on web applications to create dynamic content, and access data from within a database.

PHP is the most common of all server side scripting languages, and operates on several different types of servers, including Windows, Linux, and Unix.
