[FIXED] MAMP htdocs phpinfo

Issue

I am trying to get a simple phpinfo() to print out on my local server (using MAMP). I made a new directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs (php_sandbox) and put a file in there named my_phpinfo with only phpinfo() in it. How can I view the contents of this file in my web browser?

Is it also advisable if I set the Apache document root to be in my home directory/sites? I will be mainly using this local server to test/host some small sites.

Thanks!

Solution

visit in your browser localhost/my_phpinfo/index.php assuming you named the file with <? phpinfo();?> is in index.php. Also, make sure you are editing the correct php.ini in your MAMP directory by checking your mamp prefs and seeing what version of php MAMP is using.
