PHPinfo() Enabled? Phpinfo is nothing but a list of all the settings on the
server for the various components you may use. phpinfo is a constant and
doesn't change on a per server basis even if they upgrade php. It's simply a
command if you will, to get that list and only needs to be done very, very
infrequently.

True, but to a newbie it could get confusing with all the php.ini files
strewn around his hard drive. They aren't all the same, where a phpinfo on
the server gets you the exact information you need. Also, if it's a turnkey
freebie like there are so many of these days, it wll be pretty well spelled
out n the docs that accompany it.
BTW, I haven't seen any yet that provide the right security settings for
either being a server to the outside world or just for testiing, etc. etc..
They leave that up to the user since there are so many different ways to do
it. Keep in mind I've only looked at the freebies that allow easy setup for
local server capability. Testing of code in other words.
