PHP info
From MoodleDocs
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.
