# Identify php.ini file used

To identify the php.ini file that has been used, we could write a file with a phpinfo() function and extract the info.

## Create file with phpinfo(); inside

```bash
echo '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' > info.php
```

## Check the file in web browser

And we have the exact php.ini file used for the web server.
