How do I test php installation with a phpinfo page?
PHP has a special function called phpinfo. It displays a large amount of information about the current state of PHP. This includes information about PHP compilation options and extensions, the PHP version, server information and environment, OS version information, paths, master and local values of configuration options, HTTP headers, and the PHP License etc.
Create following test.php script in /var/www/html directory (or your httpdoc directory):
<? phpinfo(); ?>
Open your web browser and type url: http://domain.com/test.php. For more information see offical phpinfo documentation.

If phpinfo just shows the code written out as plain text, exactly as it is in my PHP file, does that mean PHP isn’t enabled?
