PhpInfo is a very simple PHP component, to demonstrate what happens when you try and ship a web page inside a PHP component.
PhpInfo should be installed using the PEAR Installer. This installer is the community's de-facto standard for distributing PHP components.
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phix-project.com
sudo pear install --alldeps phix/PhpInfo
After installation, you will find PhpInfo inside your local PEAR repository, which on Linux systems is normally /usr/share/php.
PhpInfo is currently undocumented.
If you want to patch or enhance this component, you will need to create a suitable development environment by installing the tools required for creating components with PHP:
# phpunit
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no
sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit
# phing
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phing.info
sudo pear install --alldeps phing/phing
# pdepend
sudo pear channel-discover pear.pdepend.org
sudo pear install --alldeps pdepend/PHP_Depend-beta
# phpdoc
sudo pear install --alldeps pear/PhpDocumentor
# phpmd
sudo apt-get install php5-imagick
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpmd.org
sudo pear install --alldeps phpmd/PHP_PMD-alpha
# phpcpd
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/phpcpd
# phpcs
sudo pear install --alldeps pear/PHP_CodeSniffer-beta
# phpcb
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHP_CodeBrowser
# phix
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phix-project.org
sudo pear install --alldeps phix/phix
You can then clone the git repository:
# PhpInfo
git clone git://github.com/stuartherbert/PhpInfo.git
