ID: 27284 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: adam at comsmart dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php I assume you mean environment information which you can skip in the output (RTFM). Otherwise the function is never meant to be shown to every user.

Therefore, you can not include a call to phpinfo on any public page, because people could get into your system. I think that the default call to phpinfo should not output the username/password of the owner of the file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27284&edit=1
