In this guide, we will look at how to check the PHP version and settings in cPanel. PHP scripts help us see what version of PHP is on our computer and what settings it has. We use a method called “phpinfo()” to show all the details about PHP’s setup.<\/p>\n

Let us follow the steps-<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to cPanel.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the \u201cFile Manager\u201d sub-option under the \u201cFiles\u201d section.
    \n\"file\"<\/li>\n
  3. Locate the \u201cpublic_html\u201d directory.
    \n\"public_html\"<\/li>\n
  4. Click on the \u201c+File\u201d option from the top-left corner.
    \n\"file\"<\/li>\n
  5. Enter the new file name as \u201cphpinfo.php\u201d and click on the \u201cCreate New File\u201d button.
    \n\"new<\/li>\n
  6. The newly added file will be included in the list.
    \n\"phpinfo.php\"<\/li>\n
  7. Select the \u201cphpinfo.php\u201d file and click on the \u201cEdit\u201d button from the top of the screen.
    \n\"Edit\"<\/li>\n
  8. Then enter the code outlined below-
    \n<?php
    \nphpinfo();
    \n?>
    \n\"code\"<\/li>\n
  9. Click on the \u201cSave Changes\u201d button.
    \n\"save<\/li>\n
  10. Finally, you will get a success message.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To view comprehensive PHP settings information for your account, open the link http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/phpinfo.php in your browser. Remember to replace \u201cyourdomain.com\u201d with your primary domain name. For security purposes, make sure to delete the file after reviewing all the information.<\/p>\n
