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.
