PHP

PHP is the scripting language of choice for many web geeks. I ain't one of 'em.

I just learned a trick. I needed to know what version of PHP my ISP supported because something I wanted to use required a specific version or later.

Create a file called phpinfo.php that contains:

    <?php

    phpinfo();

    ?>

FTP it to your server, open your browser, and surf to www.yourSite.com/phpinfo.php

For those of you who are typing challenged, you can download this file by right-clicking here. Save it to your hard disk and then upload it to your server as above.

As of 26feb09, the current version of PHP is 5.2.9.
