Checking the PHP Version on Hosting

The PHP versions installed on your computer and on the hosting may differ. This can lead to a situation where a script that works locally, will not work on the hosting due to the difference in versions.

To find out which PHP version is installed, you need to create a PHP file with the following content:

php<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Then you need to access this file through the browser's address bar. At the very top of the page, you will see the current PHP version.
