Solution 1

The usual problem is: this function is disabled in PHP configuration, for safety purposes. If you use shared hosting and cannot control it, the usual solution is to do development on your local host where you can install everything.

We cannot solve your problem with "http://localhost/phpinfo.php" because you did not provide any information on what's in your file "phpinfo.php" and if this file even exists. I cannot be sure that you even installed PHP. All you need is to call phpinfo:
PHP: phpinfo - Manual[^].

There is nothing which would possibly need any explanations.

SA: Thanks for your response. Let me try to explain the scenario again and see you you can help.
I created a text document, and save it as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpinfo.php. Its content is
?php phpinfo(); ?
w/ enclosed by '< >'
Then I typed http://localhost/phpinfo.php on my browser, but got No input file specified, or (HTTP/1.0 404).
I also tried through my IIS Manager. In my IIS Default Web Site's Content View, I can see phpinfo.php there. Then I right-click the file > Browse. I got the message: "No input file specified."

Checked over and tried again. Still got 404 through Fiddle2. Any advisory? Thanks.

Your URL and actual page address don't match. You don't have a file where you expect it.
