This is just a simple page to show the live output from the PHP variable $_SERVER. This variable is pre-defined in PHP which means that it can be called anywhere and does not have to be initialised. Plus, to state the obvious, as it is PHP it does not rely on JavaScript and so it is quick and cannot be switched off by the user.
