Create a phpinfo Page | Hostvento Knowledge Base

What is a phpinfo page?

PHP is the language that runs many websites. The phpinfo page is a report about PHP on your server. It shows the PHP version, loaded extensions, memory limits and more. Extensions are add-ons that give PHP extra skills.

Support teams and developers often ask for it when they look for a problem.

Steps

Log in to your hosting control panel.
Open File Manager.
Go to your website folder. It is usually named public_html.
Click + File.
Name the file info.php and click Create New File.
Right-click info.php and choose Edit.
Type or paste this single line:
```
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
```
The line calls a built-in PHP function that prints the report.
Click Save Changes and close the editor.
Open a browser and go to https://yourdomain.com/info.php. Use your own domain name.

You will see a long page with purple and gray tables. That is the report.

How to read it

The top shows the PHP Version.
Press Ctrl+F to search the page. Try words like memory_limit, upload_max_filesize or curl.
The Loaded Configuration File line tells you which php.ini file is in use.

Important: Delete info.php when you are done. The page reveals private details that attackers can use. In File Manager, right-click the file and choose Delete.

If the page does not work

If the browser downloads the file or shows the code, PHP may not be active for that folder. Ask Hostvento support.
If you see a 404 error, check the file name and folder.
Make sure the file ends in .php and not .php.txt.

Quick recap

Create info.php in public_html.
Put <?php phpinfo(); ?> inside.
Open it in your browser.
Delete the file when finished.
