I’ve on many occasions in past worked with PHP and upon starting this blog realised I’d forgotten almost everything I ever knew about the language\/technology. So I’m going to add a few PHP items as and when I have to look them up or remember them.<\/p>\n

The first is the phpinfo()<\/a> method. Simply place this method into a .php file in the following way<\/p>\n

\r\n<? phpinfo(); ?>\r\n<\/pre>\n
and when this file placed on your web site, simply load the page in your web browser to see loads of PHP information for your webserver\/configuration, such as any php.ini file path…<\/p>\n
Talking of the which. I was having problems with this blog (assuming I’m still using a PHP based blog when you read this) when it was on godaddy. Iwas getting various timeouts when loading pages. So using the previous code I can check where the php.ini file is located (if indeed there is one) and either edit (or replace it with a file) with the following lines<\/p>\n
\r\nmax_execution_time = 360     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds\r\n<\/pre>\n
Note: the php.ini might have a version number such as php5.ini, obviously this is the file name that should be used to replace the file, add a new one or to be edited.<\/p>\n
Oh and this blog is no longer on godaddy due to it being horrendously slow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
