PHP Exercises : Get PHP version and configuration information

PHP : Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a PHP script to get the PHP version and configuration information.

Sample Solution: -

PHP Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Note: phpinfo() outputs a large amount of information about the current state of PHP. This includes information about PHP compilation options and extensions, the PHP version, server information and environment, the PHP environment, OS version information, paths, master and local values of configuration options, HTTP headers, and the PHP License.

Sample Output:

phpinfo()                                                   
PHP Version => 5.6.11-1ubuntu3.4

f.d                                                         
Additional .ini files parsed => /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/05-opca
che.ini,                                                    
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini,                            
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-gd.ini,
