Implemented PHP Info

[Ezenity]

I find myself always going back to http://site.site/admin.php?tools/phpinfo for things here and there. I noticed that it was not in the ACP -> Tools navi anywhere I would always have to type it in manually. Yet a same edit can it be possible that we get it as a core feature to be located say "ACP -> Tool -> PHP Info" ?

I'm all for this. I don't think it would hurt to add it and I'm fairly sure a simple template edit could be made to include it.

Its not a template edit. XenForo admin navigation items are stored within the database.

Yes, I know this.

But what I'm saying is it wouldn't be hard to add a button / link in the admin style and all it would have to do is point to:

admin.php?tools/phpinfo

This is what I meant by simply adding it.

Until then, you can do this:

1. Enable debug mode, enter AdminCP -> Development -> Admin Navigation -> Create Admin Navigation
   
2. Enter the following values:
   
   

   Admin Navigation ID: phpInfo
   Title: PHP Info
   Link: tools/phpinfo
   Parent Navigation: Tools
   Display Order: 3000
   
   Uncheck Hide this navigation when there are no viewable children

   
   
3. Save and disable debug mode.

I remembered in the vBulletin AdminCP, there was a LINK for this function...


As such, I wondered how to accomplish something similar for XF and turned up this helpful page entitled: How can I view my php settings using a phpinfo page? Using that tutorial, I managed to figure it out.

Now to my surprise, after tripping across this discussion I discover it's apparently a (hidden) feature within the XF database.

Thanxx to @NixFifty's instructions, I was able to add a LINK for it now...



I had no idea the capability to add such links even existed in XF via the Admin Navigation function.

Enable debug mode

by putting

$config['debug'] = true;

in /library/config.php

Finally got around to doing this. Thanks.

Nice that it can still be inserted manually, but would be better if a link existed to phpinfo on fresh install.

Well we do have this since later 2.0 versions and of course 2.1.

Specifically on the Admin home page there is a “Server environment report”.

The PHP version is linked to phpinfo.

That’s pretty much all we’ll be doing so we’ll just call this implemented now.

I never noticed that the version # was a link; that's handy.

Can't find it in 2.2. It finds the phrase for it though. I probably just don't know where to look…
