How to check PHP Version and how to upgrade latest one ?

[Dipak Bhoi]

Hello guys,

I would like to request the latest version of PHP be installed on my domain before that I want to check my current php version,
so how I can get this ?

To check current php version you will have to add a file phpinfo.php or whatever_name.php into public_html directory.

username/public_html]#vi phpinfo.php

Add the following line in your file and save it.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

:wq

Now change the ownership of this file root to username. e.g my username is dipawe.

public_html]#chown dipawe:dipawe phpinfo.php

Now you can check it with the link --> http://yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php.

To upgrade php version you will have to add a single line into .htaccess file and save it. You can add this line at top of file.

public_html]#vi .htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php53 php

:wq

Now you can check it with the link --> http://yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php.
