Can I delete phpinfo.php for PCI Compliance

Please can anyone tell me if I need phpinfo.php in the root directory or in myadmin/phpinfo.php?

Apparently its the last problem with security and PCI Compiance.

Cheers

A proper clean install of Zen Cart does NOT have a "phpinfo.php" in the root or admin folders.
So, if you have one, then you added it yourself.
As far as Zen Cart is concerned, you don't need such a file.

Zen Cart doesn't need or use a "phpinfo.php" file in the admin or catalog/storefront regular operations.
