If you need to check your website’s PHP configuration, also known as phpinfo<\/strong>, to ensure it meets software requirements, you’re in the right place. This tutorial will guide you on creating a phpinfo<\/strong> file and accessing its detailed information through your hosting control panel. Let’s get started!<\/p>

Checking PHP Information Using Hosting Control Panel<\/h2>
\"The<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

In this guide, we’ll be using Hostinger’s hPanel, where you can easily check your PHP<\/a> information using the PHP Info<\/strong> tool. Once you’re logged in, scroll down and go to Advanced<\/strong> -> PHP Info<\/strong>.<\/p>

You’ll then be forwarded to a page with detailed information about your current PHP version<\/a>, modules, and values, etc. Scroll down to browse for more.<\/p>

If you wish to find data about a specific module or function, you can use the CTRL + F<\/strong> (CMD + F<\/strong> for macOS) shortcut to open the search feature within your browser.<\/p>

Checking PHP Information by Creating a phpinfo File<\/h2>

In case your hosting platform doesn’t offer the mentioned built-in PHP Info<\/strong> feature, there is no need to worry! You can reach the same goal by creating a phpinfo<\/strong> file in your public_html<\/strong> directory.<\/p>

The file will be accessible via a browser and will show you the same detailed information.<\/p>

You will need a way to access your public_html<\/strong> files. Here we’re using Hostinger’s File Manager<\/strong> as an example.<\/p>

    \n
  1. Navigate to File Manager<\/strong> under the Files<\/strong> section in your hPanel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Once you’re in public_html<\/strong> directory, click the New File<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Name your file phpinfo.php<\/strong> and press Create<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Scroll down and locate the new phpinfo<\/strong> file within the directory, then right-click to Edit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Now, copy and paste the following code into the text editor and press Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
    <?php\nphpinfo();\n?><\/pre>
    The same result can be achieved by using any text editor on your computer. Create the phpinfo.php<\/strong> file by following the same steps from before, then uploading the file to your server’s public_html<\/strong> folder through an FTP client.<\/p>
    If you don’t know how to configure or never worked with an FTP client, such as FileZilla, refer to our FTP guide<\/a> for more information.<\/p>
    Checking PHP Information Using a Browser<\/h2>
    You should have a phpinfo.php<\/strong> file in your public_html<\/strong> directory by now. So, all that’s left is to access the file by adding \/phpinfo.php<\/strong> at the end of your domain name.<\/p>
    \"PHP<\/figure><\/div>
    You should see a similar view when the file is accessed via any browser:<\/p>
    \n                    
    Pro Tip<\/h4>\n                    
    If you don't want your phpinfo<\/strong> page to be displayed all the time, you can easily disable the file by giving it a different name. phpinfo.php_disabled<\/strong>, for instance. <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n\n\n
    \"Hostinger<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>
    Conclusion<\/h2>
    There you have it! By finishing this tutorial, you’ve learned how to create a phpinfo.php<\/strong> file and how to check PHP information via your hosting control panel or your default browser. That was pretty easy, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
