PHP info

From MoodleDocs

Location: Administration > Server > PHP info

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.
  • that you have installed the required modules needed for Moodle to work, e.g. the LDAP module for LDAP authentication.

Displaying phpinfo

To view the phpinfo information:

  • In Moodle version 1.7 or greater, choose Site Administration -> Server -> PHP info.
  • Create a file called info.php using your text editor, containing this single line:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
  • Upload this file into your moodle folder on your PC or server.
  • Now open this file in your browser. For example http://127.0.0.1/info.php.
