How to check if mod_rewrite is enabled in PHP ?

In PHP, there is an inbuilt function called ‘phpinfo’. By using this function, we can output all the Loaded Modules and see the ‘mod_rewrite’ is enabled or not. Syntax:

phpinfo();

Here is a process to check the ‘mod_rewrite’ load module is enabled or not. Note: The local server used here is XAMPP.

1. Create a ‘check.php’ file in ‘c:/xampp/htdocs’ directory and write the below code in that file and save it.
2. Now, start the Apache server from the XAMPP Control Panel. 👁 Image
