I posted this file in another thread, but figured some people might find this useful. It’s a PHP script I made real quick that checks to see if your server meets the requirements for Magento. If it does, it lets you know, otherwise it tells you what needs to be installed. See attached for the PHP script. Simply upload it and then go to it in your browser.
if($fail) { echo '<p>Your server does not meet the requirements for Magento.'; echo 'The following requirements failed:</p>'; echo '<ul>'.$fail.'</ul>'; } else { echo '<p>Congratulations! Your server meets the requirements for Magento.</p>'; } } ?>
