What does this do?

This plugin displays comprehensive PHP configuration information from the server.

Security Notice

Important: This plugin is restricted to administrators with "Manage Settings" permission only. It exposes sensitive server information including PHP version, configuration, loaded extensions, and environment variables.

Usage

Important: For best results, use this plugin on a page with a "block" template (minimal template without header/footer) to avoid HTML conflicts.

Example (Basic):

{phpinfo}

Recommended Setup:

  1. Create a new page in CMS Made Simple (e.g., "PHP Info")
  2. Assign a "block" or minimal template to this page
  3. Add {phpinfo} to the page content
  4. Access the page as an administrator

This will display the complete PHP information for your server, including:

Note: phpinfo() outputs a full HTML document. Using a block template prevents conflicts with your site's layout and ensures proper display.
