# View PHP settings in PrestaShop 1.7

Although it doesn’t show as much information as a [phpinfo page](/support/website/php/create-phpinfo-page-to-see-php-settings), your PrestaShop 1.7 dashboard can view important settings applied to the site. Below we cover how to **view PHP settings in PrestaShop 1.7**.

## View PHP Settings

1. **Login PrestaShop**.
2. On the left, press **Advanced Parameters** and **Information**. [![Select Advanced Parameters and Information](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/images/stories/prestashop/prestashop-17-26-advanced-parameters-information.png)](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/images/stories/prestashop/prestashop-17-26-advanced-parameters-information.png)
3. Here you can **view configuration information related to your store**, **server**, and **database**.

You can edit much of these settings within your [PHP.ini file](/support/website/update-local-php-settings/), [PHP Configuration tool](/support/website/how-to-change-the-php-version-your-account-uses/), and PrestaShop dashboard. For example, you can change your timezone [in the dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/change-time-zone-prestashop-17/) instead of the [PHP.ini file](/support/website/set-timezone-in-php/). You can manage your MySQL database in [cPanel](/support/website/create-database/). You can learn more about improving your website from our [PrestaShop education center](/support/edu/prestashop/).
