Script Version & Update Checker

Hey Guys

I Need A Php Code Which Checks The Version And Tells If A Update Is Available Or No

 

to check the version of PHP?

 

no not php version the scripts version suppose i have a forum script in admin panel i can see wch version i am using and if any update is available it will tell me that there is an update available

 

hers how:
you put a text file on your server with the current version
then in the php of the script, you compare the current version of the script to the version on that text file

 

and how do i get the script to read the text file ??

Through fopen ??

 

fopen or file_get_contents

 

ok thanks will ask u if somethn goes wrong

 

hey wat if url fopen is disabled on a server

 

then use cURL or file_get_contents
