The phpinfo display contains information about the configuration of your PHP installation. This is useful for checking:

that your PHP installation meets Moodle's system requirements.
the values that are currently applied to your server's PHP install, e.g. File upload limits
that you have installed the required modules needed for Moodle to work, e.g. the LDAP module for LDAP authentication.
