phpinfo

Extract phpinfo() into a variable and move CSS to external file.

This might be handy when you want to show the output from phpinfo() to authenticated users only in your site's layout for example.

$phpInfo = new \Spaze\PhpInfo\PhpInfo();
$html = $phpInfo->getHtml();

getHtml()

The getHtml() method returns the phpinfo() output, without the HTML head and body elements, wrapped in <div id="phpinfo"> & </div>.

All inline CSS will be "externalized" to CSS classes, you can load assets/info.css to get the colors back.

An example usage with Nette Framework (can be used with other frameworks or standalone, too):

$this->template->phpinfo = Html::el()->setHtml($this->phpInfo->getHtml());

Please note that this will also remove the HTML head element which contains meta name="ROBOTS" tag preventing search engines and other bots indexing the phpinfo() output. You have to add it back somehow, for example by rendering the getHtml() output in your own layout which includes the head element with the meta name="ROBOTS" tag. In general, phpinfo() output should be accessible only for authenticated users.

getFullPageHtml()

Sometimes, you may want to display the classic phpinfo() output, with the original HTML head and body elements, meta name="ROBOTS" tag, inline styles etc., but still with the sensitive info sanitized (see below). In that case, you may use getFullPageHtml():

$phpInfo = new \Spaze\PhpInfo\PhpInfo();
echo $phpInfo->getFullPageHtml();

Sanitization

By default, session id will be automatically determined and replaced by [***] in the output. This is to prevent some session hijacking attacks that would read the session id from the cookie value reflected in the phpinfo() output (see my blog post describing the attack, HttpOnly bypasses, and the solution). You can disable the sanitization by calling doNotSanitizeSessionId() but it's totally not recommended. Do not disable that. Please.

You can add own strings to be sanitized in the output with

addSanitization(string $sanitize, ?string $with = null): self

If found, the string in $sanitize will be replaced with the string $with, if $with is null then the default [***] will be used instead.

Some of the values in phpinfo() output are printed URL-encoded, so the $sanitize value will also be searched URL-encoded automatically. This means that both foo,bar and foo%2Cbar would be replaced.

The sanitizer will try to determine the session id and sanitize it automatically, you can (but shouldn't) disable it with doNotSanitizeSessionId().

The following values will be used when determining the session id:

1. session_id() output if not false
2. $_COOKIE[session_name()] if it's a string

However, it is not recommended to rely solely on the automated way, because for example you may set the session name somewhere in a custom service, and it may not be available for the sanitizer to use. I'd rather suggest you configure the sanitization manually:

$phpInfo->addSanitization($this->sessionHandler->getId(), '[***]'); // where $this->sessionHandler is your custom service for example

or

$phpInfo->addSanitization($_COOKIE['MYSESSID'], '[***]'); // where MYSESSID is your session name

or something like that.

Sanitizing arbitrary strings

If you have your phpinfo() output (or anything really) in a string, you can use the sanitizer standalone, for example:

$sanitizer = new \Spaze\PhpInfo\SensitiveValueSanitizer();
$string = $sanitizer->addSanitization('🍍', '🍌')->sanitize('🍍🍕');

You can then pass the configured sanitizer to PhpInfo class which will then use your configuration for sanitizing the phpinfo() output too:

$phpInfo = new \Spaze\PhpInfo\PhpInfo($sanitizer);
$html = $phpInfo->getHtml();
