Learn more about your own PHP settings by following these instructions:

If you don't already have an info.php page on your server, please create a new text file and upload it to your server.  Name the file info.php

Your new info.php page should have 1 line of code only.  Please put the following code in your new file:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

That's all you need, now save the file to your server, and view the php page in your browser.

Once you view this new page in your web browser, it will populate the page with all the PHP settings and values.  It is a good resource to determine what the current settings are for your PHP installation.

 

Recommended PHP Settings
