php info()

Can someone explain what is this?????

phpinfo() is disabled like mail() is currently. I don't know why anyone would need phpinfo() because it just dumps the php configuration to the user. There's nothing else it can do.

I suppose you could buffer the output, do a search for some element within the output, delete everything that was supposed to be output, and then create some different output, but it really sounds inefficient considering there are many better ways to check if the function works. You'll probably have to dig through the source and fix it yourself.

phpinfo() is simply a PHP command to find out what is running in the PHP environment on your server. As garret stated it is disabled, so for now you'll need to work your way around the error or just ignore it.

Excuse my ignorance, can someone tell me if mail() is something different to PHP Mail?

Because Corey said that had been re-enabled, here ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/news-announcements/98836-update-6-22-09-a.html#post552526

mail() should be PHP Mail. That's what the command is in PHP for a mailing script.

Yes zen-r is right php mail() is now working

php mail (not mail() ) could also refer to the usage of fsockopen() to create a connection to your own SMTP server, but you're right that mail() is the standard way of sending mail. I think the fsockopen() method has never been banned, although you cannot fsockopen() anything outside of x10.
