Server Tools Server Check Script phpinfo Analyzer

Server tools.
Clearer answers.

Start with the facts behind your PHP site. These small checks help site owners, agencies and software teams narrow down a fault.

Use them on a server you manage, with shell access from your host. They read settings without changing them.

PHP shell checks · command reference

Run these in your server shell, not in a browser.

Three checks to start with

Save the result before you make a change. A clear starting point makes the next check more useful.

php -v

Read the version number, then compare it with your app’s supported versions. A newer release may need code changes first.

php --ini

This lists the settings files PHP loads. Check the file path before you edit: more than one file can set a value.

php -m

Extensions add features to PHP. Match this list against your app’s needs when an install fails or a feature stops working.

Want a ready set of shell commands? Use the server check script. Have selected phpinfo values? Review them privately with the phpinfo analyzer.

Your website can use a different PHP version and settings from the shell. A matching result matters more than a passing check.

phpinfo() shows PHP settings from the web request that runs it. Keep that page private and remove it when done.

Keep the useful facts. Note the PHP version, error text and what changed before the fault.
Remove private details. Leave out passwords, keys, full file paths and private host names.
Check the web settings. Ask your host which PHP setup serves the affected site.

A command can show a setting. A server review connects it to the fault. phpinfoFile pairs clear reports with hands-on PHP fixes.

Tell us what failed and which checks you tried. Start with a brief summary, without sending a full private report.
