[FX.php List] Drop-down stopped working

[Bob Patin]

The easy way to tell is to write a page that contains this:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

and save it as something like "info.php"

and then hit it on your server. If PHP is running you'll get a lot of info about where files are stored, etc. Since it's a security problem if you leave it on the server, be sure to delete it after you're finished looking at it.
