Sometime you may require to find PHP version of WordPress and other PHP details that is currently running on your server. There is a very simple technique to get the same. This tip can be applied for any website developed on PHP platform and is not limited for WordPress only.

This tip is very simple and anyone with a little tech know-how can do it. I have tried to make it as simple as it can be.

All you need to do is to open a text editor and enter the following codes in it:

<?php 
phpinfo(); 
?>

Save the file as “info.php”.

Now login to your server using any FTP tool (I recommend FileZilla as it is free, easy and user friendly). Navigate to your domain and upload the file there.

For e.g. I want to know the check  PHP version and other details of my blog http://www.alychitech.com.  Once I have logged into the server through FTP, I will go to www folder, then to my domain i.e. http://www.alychitech.com folder and upload the file there.

Do not upload the file anywhere else otherwise you may not get the desired result.

All set.

Now go to browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:

http://www.alychitech.com/info.php

Replace http://www.alychitech.com domain with your own domain where you have uploaded the file and it will display the required information in detail. Your version of PHP being used is displayed at the top of the page.

This is the easiest way to check PHP version of your WordPress blog. This technique is not limited to WordPress blogs or website, but can be adopted for any website, portal, Webapp or blog developed on PHP. Drop me a comment below if you face any problem.
