A phpinfo file, displays information about your server.
To create a phpinfo file you need to create a .php page and upload this to your server.
Create a simple text file and copy the following code in to it:
| PHP Code: |
| <?php phpinfo(); ?> |
Save the file as phpinfo.php and upload this to your webspace / server.
In the address bar type the location of your phpinfo file for example http://www.gnulinux.co.uk/phpinfo.php
Or though the phpinfo file displays a lot of useful information, it is always best not to make this public. Changing the file name is one way to protect it.
A simple search in google inurl:phpinfo.php shows you a list of sites that have a phpinfo file on their server. |
