Security Warning: Delete this script immediately after checking the version to prevent exposing sensitive server configuration details.

Then upload this script to the root directory of the domain you want to check, and access it via your web browser by visiting the script's URL (e.g., www.example.com/phpinfo.php). This will display a page containing information about the server's PHP configuration, including the version number. Another way is to access the server via SSH or terminal and type php -v. This will give you the version of PHP running on the server.
