A nicer way to get that info is to put a script containing phpinfo() into your webserver document root - call it something like test.php: test.php -------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> that's it - just that one line. Then just browse to http://name_of_your_server/test.php and you'll get a nicely formatted page telling you all the different things about your webserver and all the options it was built with - including PHP and MySQL stuff (if it was built with MySQL support).
