Pretty PHPinfo tool

Purposes

This one page admin tool was created to help manage several virtual hosting plans with different settings of PHP.

This tool can be easily embedded into any PHP-driven CMS, which in fact was done by me in some projects.

For easy reading and comparing settings on different hosting was done:

2002-2008

single PHP file
visual sectioning
section navigation pane
PHP 4 support
easy reading colors in 2 stylesheet with embedded base64 graphics
visual differences when comparing settings on 2 different hostings by using color schemes; see screenshots
NO javascript
NO frames, nor iFrames
additional non-standard info
no credits and module descriptions, just technical info by key-value

2013

PHP5 OOP - compact file, easy and safe reuse of PHPinfo code, PHP4 support was gone as unneccessary
LESS sources for stylesheets
2 ready to use PHP files with different stylesheets embedded
styles optimized for Chrome and Firefox on tablets
dropped MySQL info and other non-standard info

to use with PHP4 take a look at info-2008.php in dev folder

2016

stylesheets combined to single LESS to easy switch style by changing class of BODY or any another container
JS added by following reasons:
1. optimization for browsers I'm use,
2. possibility to quick change of a look, including FavIcon,
3. possibility to quick modify the data at client side with DevTools
4. quick search/filters - as modern UI\UX trends: I've become old and lazy, I want to press only key, but don't scroll :)
5. remember choosed color scheme in browser, not at hosting
6. just ONE file to deploy
no 3d party JS libraries are used
dropped support for IE < 10
dropped CSS hacks

Installation

Just copy info.php to your virtual hosting by FTP or any another way into directory wich can be reachable by http access.

NOTE check permissions of directory:

1) on *NIX hosting file must be written with `644` permissions at least
2) php scripts must be allowed to be launched in this directory (check `.htaccess` files)
3) directory must be under DOCUMET_ROOT

Strongly recommended to place this file in restricted area of your site or delete them when it become unneccessary: PHP info gives large amount system info, which can be used 3d persons to bring lot of hedache to you and lot of destruction to your site.

Also, you can run folowing code inside desired directory of server:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SynCap/PHP-Info/master/info.php

Known issues

FavIcon not supported in IE

Because they do not support PNG icons properly, and I don't use IE in everyday task. I see no reasons to prepare and embed ICO files. Icons in this tools taken from the PNG logos wich (only 2 images) are embedded into CSS.

Some lacks in old and mobile browsers

Current version did not tested with IE < 11, and any other browsers published before December 2015.

This version is not intended to use through devices with small screens (less than 1024 pixels in horizontal dimension and less than 500 px in vertical).

No subheaders in some tables

Yes, I know. When I'll need it, I'll fix this. If you really need it - modify code at line where comments marked ** RE: where Regular Expressions are reside. You may want to catch tr with class="h" to determine the subheader.

Check line marked ** Table row:, where new tables are builts.

Only 2 columns of 3-column tables is retrived

Are you really need it? If so, modify code if regular expressions at line where comments marked ** RE:. You may need to catch all 3 values, and at neext close line marked 2016:, they can be added to array which keep all gathered values.
