Save and Upload the File
Save the changes to your `hostinginfo.php` file. Then, upload this file to your web server using an FTP client or your hosting provider's file manager. Make sure to place it in a publicly accessible directory, such as the root directory.
Access the File via Web Browser
Finally, open a web browser and navigate to the URL where you uploaded your `hostinginfo.php` file (e.g., `http://yourdomain.com/hostinginfo.php`). You should see a detailed page displaying your PHP configuration and environment information.
