Finding Out PHP Version and Installed PHP Components On Your Server

[flesso]

Although most advanced users will know about this, novices may not. If you're a first time programmer or programming in a different environment in PHP then you would probably want to know about PHP on your server, i.e. what libraries are installed, what version of PHP is intalled etc. To accomplish this, all you have to do is create a blank PHP file with the following code inside it:

PHP Code:


<?php phpinfo(); ?>

That code will give you all the information you will need to know about PHP on your server!

Happy coding!
