How can I check PHP version if phpinfo() is disabled?

Question

What are some workarounds for checking what version of PHP when phpinfo() is disabled?

Answer 1

• phpversion() will return a full version string.

• The PHP_VERSION constant also contains the version information.

• Since PHP 5.2.7, there are also constants containing "sub-info" like PHP_MAJOR_VERSION, PHP_MINOR_VERSION....

Answer 2

You can check the PHP_VERSION constant (this is a string) or PHP_MAJOR_VERSION, PHP_MINOR_VERSION, PHP_RELEASE_VERSION for their respective integer values.
