PHPVERSION(3) 1 PHPVERSION(3) phpversion - Gets the current PHP version SYNOPSIS
string phpversion ([string $extension]) DESCRIPTION
Returns a string containing the version of the currently running PHP parser or extension. PARAMETERS
o $extension - An optional extension name. RETURN VALUES
If the optional $extension parameter is specified, phpversion(3) returns the version of that extension, or FALSE if there is no version information associated or the extension isn't enabled. EXAMPLES
Example #1 phpversion(3) example <?php // prints e.g. 'Current PHP version: 4.1.1' echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion(); // prints e.g. '2.0' or nothing if the extension isn't enabled echo phpversion('tidy'); ?> Example #2 PHP_VERSION_ID example and usage <?php // PHP_VERSION_ID is available as of PHP 5.2.7, if our // version is lower than that, then emulate it if (!defined('PHP_VERSION_ID')) { $version = explode('.', PHP_VERSION); define('PHP_VERSION_ID', ($version[0] * 10000 + $version[1] * 100 + $version[2])); } // PHP_VERSION_ID is defined as a number, where the higher the number // is, the newer a PHP version is used. It's defined as used in the above // expression: // // $version_id = $major_version * 10000 + $minor_version * 100 + $release_version; // // Now with PHP_VERSION_ID we can check for features this PHP version // may have, this doesn't require to use version_compare() everytime // you check if the current PHP version may not support a feature. // // For example, we may here define the PHP_VERSION_* constants thats // not available in versions prior to 5.2.7 if (PHP_VERSION_ID < 50207) { define('PHP_MAJOR_VERSION', $version[0]); define('PHP_MINOR_VERSION', $version[1]); define('PHP_RELEASE_VERSION', $version[2]); // and so on, ... } ?> NOTES
Note This information is also available in the predefined constant PHP_VERSION. More versioning information is available using the PHP_VERSION_* constants. SEE ALSO
