is phpinfo() any kind of security threat?

I’m fairly new to PHP, and I have phpinfo() output to a public page just so I can easily look at it. Lots of info there. Is anything being revealed that might be used against me?

Thanks,
…Mike

Any info phpinfo() reveals is on only local to your machine to view and it's only fetch the information that relates to php such as your database saver and web server packages. So the answer is NO. hope this helps.

Actually I put it on a public page so I (and anyone with a web browser) can see it, as I learn my way around PHP. After perusing the info, it seems innocuous enough, but I'm going to take it down anyway.

Thanks for your response.
