This includes information about PHP compilation options and extensions, the PHP version, server information and environment (if compiled as a module), the PHP environment, OS version information, paths, master and local values of configuration options, HTTP headers, and the PHP License.

| 5.2.2 | The "Loaded Configuration File" information was added, when before only "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" existed. |
Examples
Example #1 phpinfo() Example
