8,896 PointsThere isn't a phpinfo.php file in my downloads, or on my workspace as shown in the video. Do I need a server to do this?
I'm just taking this course on my laptop, without a system in place for hosting my own websites. Is this the reason why I can't find a phpinfo.php or php.ini file in the workspace? I also don't see anything in the downloads; no files, etc.

8,896 PointsCreating a local development environment was the best solution I could find. I think the video explaining how to set up MAMP may be missing from this PHP track, or at least it was a few weeks ago.

11,037 PointsHello,
php.ini is not on workspace, this is a file for config the php compiler behavior, and some other things. I have not take the course yet, but I assume that in previous videos the instructor give you some steps to install a local development environment using xampp/wamp/lamp.
If you have questions feel free to ask.
Regards.
