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.

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(); ?>

This is a sample output displayed:
