# Displaying PHP information

Information about PHP and its settings can be viewed by using the [phpinfo()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php) function in one of your scripts. As an example, you could create an empty **.php** file (with an arbitrary name\*) in the `htdocs/` directory with the following contents:

```
<?php

phpinfo();

?>
```

\* For security reasons, it is not recommended to use phpinfo, info, etc. as filenames.
