Getting PHP Version

[aenigma]

Is it possible to obtain the PHP Version runtime? I mean somthing to make a code like this:


if ($phpVersion > 4.3) {
doSomething
} else {
doSomethingElse
}


So I could wirite a code that would use some things if they are present, and my code would be more portable.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Shows the version. Have a look on php.net to see whether it can return the version as the output to use in statements.

Actually, yuor answer seems to be here: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.phpversion.php

phpversion -- Gets the current PHP version
Description
string phpversion ( void )


Returns a string containing the version of the currently running PHP parser.

Note: This information is also available in the predefined constant PHP_VERSION.

Example 1. phpversion() example

<?php
// prints e.g. 'Current PHP version: 4.1.1'
echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion();
?>




Just evaluate the string in a comparison.
