        phpinfo(); // phpcs:ignore WordPress.PHP.DevelopmentFunctions
        $info = (string) ob_get_clean();

        // Keep only the body and scope the table styles to this screen.
        if ( preg_match( '#<body[^>]*>(.*)</body>#is', $info, $match ) ) {
            $info = $match[1];
        }

        echo '<div class="wrap"><h1>PHP Info</h1><style>#wpide-phpinfo table{border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;margin-bottom:1em;background:#fff;}#wpide-phpinfo td,#wpide-phpinfo th{border:1px solid #dcdcde;padding:4px 8px;font-size:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;}#wpide-phpinfo .e{background:#f6f7f7;font-weight:600;width:30%;}#wpide-phpinfo h2{margin-top:1.5em;}</style><div id="wpide-phpinfo">';
        echo wp_kses_post( $info );
        echo '</div></div>';
    } );
} );
```

## Notes

The report reveals server details; it is limited to administrators. Remove the snippet when you no longer need it.
