How do I check the version of PHP my server is running?

[alexrolko]

First off create a file called "phpinfo.php", edit the file with good ol' notepad (if your under windows) or any simple text editor. Copy and paste this into the file...

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

Then upload it to your server, and call the file in your browser. "http://www.myserver.com/phpinfo.php"


If the file runs and you get a long page of information, you have a PHP enabled server for one and right at the top it tells the version.

If your browser popups up a "Download this File" dialog box or it just shows you the code above, then you do not have a PHP enable server. or you dont have access.

Does it have problems with php 4.0.6?

Does it have problems with php 4.0.6?

Does YaBB SE have problems? not that im aware of on *nix servers, but it does with Windows versions due to it not supporting the crypt() function.

How do I create the phpinfo.php file to upload to my browser? I am using activewebhosting.com and my site is neotalk.com. I am trying to figure out how I create the file to put that code in to load to my site. I know it is PHP enabled, it says so on the front. What do I do afterwards?

Open up Notepade or a text editor, add this text to that file:

<?

phpinfo();

?>

save the file as phpinfo.php, upload it to your website, then call it up in your browser.
