phpinfo(); will display the settings etc on the machine, if installed, but just doing a simple php return would tell you.

<?php
// if php is not install all this will display, if is installed and running the following will display as: is this thing on?
echo "is this thing on?";
?>

just use this simple script:

<?php
phpinfo()
?>

If php is installed, it will display the configuration, location, etc. Good luck.
