Tiny PHP “Health Check” Page (drop-in)

December 12, 2025

PHP Site Health Check (IP + Time + HTTPS + PHP Version) #php #tools #webmaster #diagnostics This is a tiny “is everything alive?” page you can drop onto any site to confirm PHP is running and see basic request/server info. What it shows: - Your IP address - Server time - Whether HTTPS is on - PHP version - Hostname + User-Agent (trimmed) How to use: 1) Save as /health.php 2) Visit https://yoursite.com/health.php Optional: add ?json=1 for a JSON response. Notes: - No external requests - No file writes - No database - AdSense-safe wording (no adult terms)
