Apache, PHP and Document Root

[Logantoo]

Please bear with me as I am new to a Mac, running High Sierra and I am on a steep learning curve. I have activated Apache and PHP but need to create a file named “phpinfo.php” and file it in my document root with certain code and then view it in my browser. The code is provided so I can easily copy and paste, no problem. However in simple step by step instructions please, how do I create the file phpinfo.php file, where do I store it, and then how do I transfer it to my document root? I am sure it is simple but at the moment my mind is a complete blank.
Many thanks

Hello and welcome.

First off, I would recommend having a current Time Machine or other backup of your data before proceeding.

Here's a good article about Apache and PHP on High Sierra: Install Apache, MySQL, PHP on macOS High Sierra 10.13

Hope that helps a bit,
