PHP version and information

You will need to know the PHP version and configuration that is in-use on your
Nextcloud server. This will not necessarily be the same version and configuration as
can be reached from the command-line. The simplest way to gather this information is
by using what's commonly referenced as ``phpinfo()``.

The most accurate - and easiest - way to access ``phpinfo`` is by checking it from
within Nextcloud itself. Of course, this requires that Nextcloud is functioning
enough that you can log in as an administrator and access the
**Administration settings -> System** menu. If so, you can enable the exposure of
``phpinfo`` data by toggling it on via ``occ``:

``./occ config:app:set --value=yes serverinfo phpinfo``

From then on a new button labeled **Show phpinfo** will be visible in the web
interface under **Administration settings -> System**. Clicking it will expose
just about everything you may want to know about your PHP environment.

If accessing the Nextcloud web interface is not an option, you may create a
plain-text file named **phpinfo.php** and place it in your Web root, for
example ``/var/www/html/phpinfo.php``. (Your Web root may be in a different
location; your Linux distribution documentation will tell you where.) This file
