PHP info(): What is PHP configuration?

It tells about the PHP version running in the server. The settings can be changed in php.ini file . In a shared hosting environment you may not get access to change your php.ini file settings. Contact your hosting provider for any changes you require or to enable features.

Some of the settings inside php.ini can be changed by using ini_set() function .
