What PHP Version Do I Have?

[SportPilot]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to thank you in advance for reading my post. I am trying to figure out how I find out where to look for my PHP version?

I have an issue where my VA website works great using ipage as a host but recently went to move it to hostblast and everything worked great except the live flight board, it showed no flights when in fact i was on acars and flying. I feel like my PHP is old and hence not fully up to date with today's coding. All has been working great so I did not want to mess with anything.

When I did move the website away from ipage i had errors saying PHP was deprecated on ACARS side and even when I was able to fix them from occuring I still could not get the live flights page to display.

I have since moved everything back to ipage and just waiting for propagation to finish.

Is it hard to update PHP versions? I just don't know where to start because I do not know what version I am currently running.

Thanks again for your time.

Create a file named "info.php", add the following lines, and save it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Upload the file to your server and open the file in your browser, like http://www.example.com/info.php You should now get all information about your apache server.

The update process about php can be tricky, depends on your knowledge about linux or server environment.

Thanks so much. Worked like a charm.,

PHP Version 5.5.22

So would phpvms V2 be the next appropriate upgrade I would need to do?

On a quick note SportPilot,

I to am using iPage for hosting, and love them, First started with Heritage VA 11 years ago with them, now running Seairtransport VA. They are completely 100% unlimited if using the Essential Package through them, which I am using. The price is right, and the uptime is almost 100% with them. Moral of the story, you can change the PHP version through the Control Panel also. (file: php.ini).

I use a lot of the older Modules for my site, so I am running php version 5.3.xx. You made a very very good choice for a hosting company, good luck, and poke me if you want some help anytime.
