phpinfo

(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

phpinfo -- Outputs lots of PHP information

Description

int phpinfo ( [int what])

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 (if compiled as a module), the PHP environment, OS version information, paths, master and local values of configuration options, HTTP headers, and the PHP License.

Because every system is setup differently, phpinfo() is commonly used to check configuration settings and for available predefined variables on a given system. Also, phpinfo() is a valuable debugging tool as it contains all EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie, Server) data.

The output may be customized by passing one or more of the following constants bitwise values summed together in the optional what parameter. One can also combine the respective constants or bitwise values together with the or operator.

Tablo 1. phpinfo() options

Name (constant)ValueDescription
INFO_GENERAL1 The configuration line, php.ini location, build date, Web Server, System and more.
INFO_CREDITS2 PHP 4 Credits. See also phpcredits().
INFO_CONFIGURATION4 Current Local and Master values for PHP directives. See also ini_get().
INFO_MODULES8 Loaded modules and their respective settings. See also get_loaded_modules().
INFO_ENVIRONMENT16 Environment Variable information that's also available in $_ENV.
INFO_VARIABLES32 Shows all predefined variables from EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie, Server).
INFO_LICENSE64 PHP License information. See also the license faq.
INFO_ALL-1 Shows all of the above. This is the default value.

Örnek 1. phpinfo() examples

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

Not: Parts of the information displayed are disabled when the expose_php configuration setting is set to off. This includes the PHP and Zend logos, and the credits.

Not: phpinfo() outputs plain text instead of HTML when using the CLI mode.

See also phpversion(), phpcredits(), php_logo_guid(), ini_get(), ini_set(), get_loaded_modules(), and the section on Predefined Variables.

To extract all of the data from phpinfo into a nested array:
<?php
ob_start
();
phpinfo();
$phpinfo = array('phpinfo' => array());
if(
preg_match_all('#(?:<h2>(?:<a name=".*?">)?(.*?)(?:</a>)?</h2>)|(?:<tr(?: class=".*?")?><t[hd](?: class=".*?")?>(.*?)\s*</t[hd]>(?:<t[hd](?: class=".*?")?>(.*?)\s*</t[hd]>(?:<t[hd](?: class=".*?")?>(.*?)\s*</t[hd]>)?)?</tr>)#s', ob_get_clean(), $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER))
    foreach(
$matches as $match)
        if(
strlen($match[1]))
           
$phpinfo[$match[1]] = array();
        elseif(isset(
$match[3]))
           
$phpinfo[end(array_keys($phpinfo))][$match[2]] = isset($match[4]) ? array($match[3], $match[4]) : $match[3];
        else
           
$phpinfo[end(array_keys($phpinfo))][] = $match[2];
?>

Some examples of using individual values from the array:

<?php
   
echo "System: {$phpinfo['phpinfo']['System']}<br />\n";
    echo
"Safe Mode: {$phpinfo['PHP Core']['safe_mode'][0]}<br />\n";
    echo
"License: {$phpinfo['PHP License'][0]}<br />\n";
?>

To display everything:

<?php
   
foreach($phpinfo as $name => $section) {
        echo
"<h3>$name</h3>\n<table>\n";
        foreach(
$section as $key => $val) {
            if(
is_array($val))
                echo
"<tr><td>$key</td><td>$val[0]</td><td>$val[1]</td></tr>\n";
            elseif(
is_string($key))
                echo
"<tr><td>$key</td><td>$val</td></tr>\n";
            else
                echo
"<tr><td>$val</td></tr>\n";
        }
        echo
"</table>\n";
    }
?>

Note: In order to properly retrieve all of the data, the regular expression matches table headers as well as table data, resulting in 'Local Value' and 'Global Value' showing up as 'Directive' entries.

big thanx 2 Mardy dot Hutchinson at gmail dot com
very good!

some fixes to correct result displaying:
1. we need to trim $matches [1], 'cause there can be empty lines;
2. not bad to remove <body> tag 'cause styles for it not apply correctly...
3. ...and change styles a little (remove "body" selector)

we need to change two lines:

<?php
preg_match
('%<style type="text/css">(.*?)</style>.*?(<body>.*</body>)%s', ob_get_clean(), $matches);
?>
to
<?php
preg_match
('%<style type="text/css">(.*?)</style>.*?<body>(.*?)</body>%s', ob_get_clean(), $matches);
?>

and

<?php
preg_split
( '/\n/', $matches[1] )
?>
to
<?php
preg_split
( '/\n/', trim(preg_replace( "/\nbody/", "\n", $matches[1])) )
?>

That's all! Now we have a really flexible addition to phpinfo();

Embedding phpinfo within your page, that already has style information:

The phpinfo output is wrapped within a <div class='phpinfodisplay'>, and we privatize all the style selectors that phpinfo() creates.

Yes, we cheat on preparing the selector list.

<?php
ob_start
();
phpinfo();

preg_match ('%<style type="text/css">(.*?)</style>.*?(<body>.*</body>)%s', ob_get_clean(), $matches);

# $matches [1]; # Style information
# $matches [2]; # Body information

echo "<div class='phpinfodisplay'><style type='text/css'>\n",
   
join( "\n",
       
array_map(
           
create_function(
               
'$i',
               
'return ".phpinfodisplay " . preg_replace( "/,/", ",.phpinfodisplay ", $i );'
               
),
           
preg_split( '/\n/', $matches[1] )
            )
        ),
   
"</style>\n",
   
$matches[2],
   
"\n</div>\n";
?>

Perhaps one day the phpinfo() function will be modified to output such a safe string on its own.

One note on the above functions for cleaning up the phpinfo() HTML and throwing it into an array data structure. In order to catch all of the info tidbits the preg_match_all has to be tweaked to deal with 2 and 3 column tables.

I have changed the preg_match_all() here so that the last <td></td> is optional

<?php
function parsePHPConfig() {
   
ob_start();
   
phpinfo(-1);
   
$s = ob_get_contents();
   
ob_end_clean();
   
$a = $mtc = array();
    if (
preg_match_all('/<tr><td class="e">(.*?)<\/td><td class="v">(.*?)<\/td>(:?<td class="v">(.*?)<\/td>)?<\/tr>/',$s,$mtc,PREG_SET_ORDER))
        foreach(
$mtc as $v){
            if(
$v[2] == '<i>no value</i>') continue;
           
$a[$v[1]] = $v[2];
        }
    }
    return
$a;
}
?>

Here's a variant of "print it without headers, but include the style information":

<?php
ob_start
();
phpinfo();
$info = ob_get_clean ();

$matches = array ();
$i = preg_match ('%(<style type="text/css">.*</style>).*<body>(.*)</body>%s', $info, $matches);

print
$matches [1]; # Style information
print $matches [2]; # Body

same as above for configuration variables

<?php
function parsePHPConfig() {
   
ob_start();
   
phpinfo(INFO_CONFIGURATION);
   
$s = ob_get_contents();
   
ob_end_clean();
   
$a = $mtc = array();
    if (
preg_match_all('/<tr><td class="e">(.*?)<\/td><td class="v">(.*?)<\/td><td class="v">(.*?)<\/td><\/tr>/',$s,$mtc,PREG_SET_ORDER)) {
        foreach(
$mtc as $v){
            if(
$v[2] == '<i>no value</i>') continue;
           
$a[$v[1]] = $v[2];
        }
    }
    return
$a;
}
?>

This is a slight modification to the previous code by "code at adspeed dot com" that extracts the PHP modules as an array. I used it on PHP 4.1.2 and it failed as the <h2> tags also had an align="center". So this update changes the regex for those tags:

<?php

/* parse php modules from phpinfo */

function parsePHPModules() {
 
ob_start();
 
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);
 
$s = ob_get_contents();
 
ob_end_clean();

 
$s = strip_tags($s,'<h2><th><td>');
 
$s = preg_replace('/<th[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/th>/',"<info>\\1</info>",$s);
 
$s = preg_replace('/<td[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/td>/',"<info>\\1</info>",$s);
 
$vTmp = preg_split('/(<h2[^>]*>[^<]+<\/h2>)/',$s,-1,PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
 
$vModules = array();
 for (
$i=1;$i<count($vTmp);$i++) {
  if (
preg_match('/<h2[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/h2>/',$vTmp[$i],$vMat)) {
  
$vName = trim($vMat[1]);
  
$vTmp2 = explode("\n",$vTmp[$i+1]);
   foreach (
$vTmp2 AS $vOne) {
  
$vPat = '<info>([^<]+)<\/info>';
  
$vPat3 = "/$vPat\s*$vPat\s*$vPat/";
  
$vPat2 = "/$vPat\s*$vPat/";
   if (
preg_match($vPat3,$vOne,$vMat)) { // 3cols
    
$vModules[$vName][trim($vMat[1])] = array(trim($vMat[2]),trim($vMat[3]));
   } elseif (
preg_match($vPat2,$vOne,$vMat)) { // 2cols
    
$vModules[$vName][trim($vMat[1])] = trim($vMat[2]);
   }
   }
  }
 }
 return
$vModules;
}
?>

To obtain a phpinfo without headers (and css) :

<?php
ob_start
();                                                                                                       
phpinfo();                                                                                                        
$info = ob_get_contents();                                                                                        
ob_end_clean();                                                                                                   

$info = preg_replace('%^.*<body>(.*)</body>.*$%ms', '$1', $info);
?>

You can then style your tables & headings :)

This function parses the phpinfo output to get details about a PHP module.

<?php
/** parse php modules from phpinfo */
function parsePHPModules() {
 
ob_start();
 
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);
 
$s = ob_get_contents();
 
ob_end_clean();
 
 
$s = strip_tags($s,'<h2><th><td>');
 
$s = preg_replace('/<th[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/th>/',"<info>\\1</info>",$s);
 
$s = preg_replace('/<td[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/td>/',"<info>\\1</info>",$s);
 
$vTmp = preg_split('/(<h2>[^<]+<\/h2>)/',$s,-1,PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
 
$vModules = array();
 for (
$i=1;$i<count($vTmp);$i++) {
  if (
preg_match('/<h2>([^<]+)<\/h2>/',$vTmp[$i],$vMat)) {
  
$vName = trim($vMat[1]);
  
$vTmp2 = explode("\n",$vTmp[$i+1]);
   foreach (
$vTmp2 AS $vOne) {
   
$vPat = '<info>([^<]+)<\/info>';
   
$vPat3 = "/$vPat\s*$vPat\s*$vPat/";
   
$vPat2 = "/$vPat\s*$vPat/";
    if (
preg_match($vPat3,$vOne,$vMat)) { // 3cols
    
$vModules[$vName][trim($vMat[1])] = array(trim($vMat[2]),trim($vMat[3]));
    } elseif (
preg_match($vPat2,$vOne,$vMat)) { // 2cols
    
$vModules[$vName][trim($vMat[1])] = trim($vMat[2]);
    }
   }
  }
 }
 return
$vModules;
}
?>

Sample Output:
[gd] => Array
(
  [GD Support] => enabled
  [GD Version] => bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
  [FreeType Support] => enabled
  [FreeType Linkage] => with freetype
  [FreeType Version] => 2.1.9
  [T1Lib Support] => enabled
  [GIF Read Support] => enabled
  [GIF Create Support] => enabled
  [JPG Support] => enabled
  [PNG Support] => enabled
  [WBMP Support] => enabled
  [XBM Support] => enabled
)

[date] => Array (
  [date/time support] => enabled
  [Timezone Database Version] => 2005.14
  [Timezone Database] => internal
  [Default timezone] => America/Los_Angeles
  [Directive] => Array (
     [0] => Local Value
     [1] => Master Value
  )
  [date.timezone] => Array (
     [0] => no value
     [1] => no value
  )
 )


<?php
/** get a module setting */
function getModuleSetting($pModuleName,$pSetting) {
 
$vModules = parsePHPModules();
 return
$vModules[$pModuleName][$pSetting];
}
?>

Example: getModuleSetting('gd','GD Version'); returns "bundled (2.0.28 compatible)"

check out this cool and fantastic colourful phpinfo()!

<?php

ob_start
();
phpinfo();
$phpinfo = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

preg_match_all('/#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}/', $phpinfo, $rawmatches);
for (
$i = 0; $i < count($rawmatches[0]); $i++)
  
$matches[] = $rawmatches[0][$i];
$matches = array_unique($matches);

$hexvalue = '0123456789abcdef';

$j = 0;
foreach (
$matches as $match)
{

  
$r = '#';
  
$searches[$j] = $match;
   for (
$i = 0; $i < 6; $i++)
     
$r .= substr($hexvalue, mt_rand(0, 15), 1);
  
$replacements[$j++] = $r;
   unset(
$r);
}

for (
$i = 0; $i < count($searches); $i++)
  
$phpinfo = str_replace($searches, $replacements, $phpinfo);
echo
$phpinfo;
?>
