In the real world, you will find PHP setups with more than one configuration. The most common is where you have two configurations, one for the CLI and the second for Apache. If you use PHP-fpm you will have yet another configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation can get more complicated depending on your Linux distro. For example, Ubuntu and other major distros would further split the three configuration files into the PHP version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get around this you have to tell PHP which configuration you want to print out using the following example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ php -c \/etc\/php\/7.4\/fpm\/php.ini -i<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The above example prints out the phpinfo() output from the php.ini file that is used by PHP-fpm and PHP version 7.4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we show you a few ways on how to view the phpinfo() output from the command-line in Linux as an alternative to Apache or Nginx web servers.
