Default PHP5 and phpinfo()

Hi,
Is there something in PHP5 that turns off phpinfo()?

safe_mode and disable_function could do it. Although much of the information
produced by phpinfo() is available elsewhere anyway.

I'm curious to know why you would want to. PHP only executes files that
are physically located on your server. If your server is compromised to
the point that someone can inject a file to execute, then you're screwed
well beyond anything phpinfo() might provide.

Maybe he's hosting a shared server?
