Display Apache version in PHP?

[Paul Kirby]

Hello All

I am just asking if it is possible to get the apache version installed on
the server in PHP.

If this is possible can somebody tell me what function or code is I have to
use to do this.

Thanks in advance.

It depends of your Apache configuration (ServerTokens)
You might find it in $_SERVER["SERVER_SIGNATURE"]

Thanks for replying.

That returns the version but also the modules as well.

I just want the version.

Like it displays in phpinfo()

Thanks in advance

$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']

should contain something like this:

Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux)

SO:
$ar = split("[/ ]",$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']);
$apache_version = $ar[1];

Thanks that worked a treat :)

I ended up using the following:
$ar = split("[/ ]",$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']);
for ($i=0;$i<(count($ar));$i++)
{
switch(strtoupper($ar[$i]))
{
case 'APACHE':
$i++;
$Apache_Version = $ar[$i];
break;
case 'PHP':
$i++;
$PHP_Version = $ar[$i];
break;
case 'MOD_SSL':
$i++;
$MOD_SSL_Version = $ar[$i];
break;
case 'OPENSSL':
$i++;
$OPENSSL_Version = $ar[$i];
break;
}
}

Echo "Apache Version: $Apache_Version<br>\n";
Echo "PHP Version: $PHP_Version<br>\n";
Echo "mod_ssl Version: $MOD_SSL_Version<br>\n";
Echo "OpenSSL Version: $OPENSSL_Version<br>\n";

That way all I have to do is add another case if I want to add another
version variable :)

Thanks

If you think about the string returned in the "Apache version" row
under "apache" - it's not that Apache Version, but the version of
Apache php4apache.dll was compiled with.
(see [url]http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21220[/url])
For example, I use Apache 1.3.28 right now but phpinfo() displays
1.3.24
Just FYI :)

function versaoServer(){

$version = explode("/", $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']);

$softNum = explode(" ", $version[1]);

$soft = $version[0].'/'.$softNum[0];

echo $soft;
