How to check if changes are visible?

1. Create a new phpinfo.php file on public_html directory or on your website folder.
2. Then paste this code: 
   <?php
   // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
   phpinfo();
   ?>
3. Then, click on Save Changes.
4. Open a new browser tab, go to your site, but add /phpinfo.php. It should look something like this:

yourdomainname.com/phpinfo.php
