2. Create a php file on the root of your Apache or any other web server you are using. Write echo phpinfo(); in that php file. Run that PHP file form your browser (http://localhost/info.php, if your php file name is info.php). You should be able to see the following output if you have configured PHP and MySQL properly.
Note: phpinfo() displays a long list of information about PHP installation. We have shown the MySQL part only.
