What is a phpinfo() file? Display Server Info using PHP
A phpinfo file, displays information about your server.

To create a phpinfo file you need to create a .php page and upload this to your server.

Create a simple text file and copy the following code in to it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save the file as phpinfo.php and upload this to your webspace / server.

In the address bar type the location of your phpinfo file for example http://www.techheadz.co.uk/phpinfo.php

Or though the phpinfo file displays a lot of useful information, it is always best not to make this public. Changing the file name is one way to protect it.

A simple search in google inurl:phpinfo.php shows you a list of sites that have a phpinfo file on their server.
