Check MySQL version with PHP script
You have to create a new file on your account and place the following code inside it:
<?php
$mysql = mysqli_connect(‘localhost’, ‘USERNAME’, ‘PASSWORD’);
/* Test the MySQL connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf(“Connection failed: %s\n”, mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Print the MySQL server version */
printf(“MySQL server version: %s\n”, mysqli_get_server_info($mysql));
/* Close the MySQL connection */
mysqli_close($mysql);
?>
Do not forget to replace the USERNAME and PASSWORD with your cPanel username and password. Next, open your file in browser and you will see the current MySQL version.
You can generate the file through SSH, FTP or from your cPanel >> File Manager tool.
