PHP is a popular open-source web scripting language that enables developers to create dynamic websites. PHP is most commonly used in web development, but it can also be used in other applications.

To check your PHP version, type the following command in a terminal window:

php -v

If the php -v command outputs the following message, your PHP version is 5.4.39 or greater:

PHP 5.39

If the php -v command outputs the following message, your PHP version is 5.3.29 or greater:

PRO TIP: If you are unsure of which PHP version you are using on your DigitalOcean server, you can check by running the following command:

php -v

If you see something like “PHP 5.4.16” or “PHP 5.3.10” then you know which version you are using. Keep in mind that different versions of PHP have different features and compatibility with various applications.

PHP 5.29

If the php -v command outputs the following message, your PHP version is 5.2.17 or greater:

PHP 5.17

If the php -v command outputs the following message, your PHP version is 5.1.6 or greater:

PHP 5.6.
