Finding your PHP info

You can easily find out some juicy stuff regarding your PHP installation and web server by using PHP's phpinfo() function. PHP's delimiters are <? and ?> and MUST surround all your PHP coding. The following will display in-depth information about your PHP installation. Try it with PHP installed.

<?



phpinfo()



?>

A cool little pre-defined PHP constant will let you view the type of operating system that your PHP installation is operating on. To use that, follow the following code:

<?



echo(PHP_OS);



?>

The echo syntax will simply print out whatever is within the parenthesis; in this case, the value of the variable PHP_OS.
