As with the Apache installation, we can add the option to upload a test file, in this case, a simple PHP file that calls the php_info function. This displays information about our PHP installation. The task to upload this file looks like the following:
- name: copy the test PHP page to the document root copy: src: "info.php" dest: "{{ document_root }}/info.php" mode: "0755" owner: "{{ users.0.name }}" group: "{{ apache_group }}" when: php_info == true
As you can see, it is only being called when the following is set in roles/php/default/main.yml:
php_info: true
The file we are copying to the host from our Ansible controller can be found in roles/php/files/info.php, and it contains the following three lines:
<?php phpinfo(); ...
