Programming Assign. Unit 2

Part 1:

<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>
  • After you type the code, click the Execute command.
  • Take a screenshot of your code’s output (the screenshot should show everything up to the last /etc command).
  • Save the screenshot in a word processing program and name the document index_php.
  • Note that the output displays the server configuration information. If you had an actual server created that you were using, you could use the command to display the server configuration
