Show PHP & MySQL Version Info in Admin Panel · **Released**: 03-29-2002

One of my admins wanted a way to keep track of what versions of software we run on our server are at, so I threw together this little hack.

It's really very simple, and only requires one code hack in admin/index.php.

In admin/index.php find:

Code:

<tr class="secondalt">
	<td>Useful Links</td>
	<td><select onchange="jumpto(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
		<option>&raquo; Useful Links &laquo;</option>
		<option value="http://www.vbulletin.com/">vBulletin Home Page</option>
		<option value="http://www.vbulletin.com/members/">vBulletin Members' Area</option>
		<option value="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/">vBulletin Support Forums</option>
		<option value="http://www.vbulletin.com/manual/">vBulletin Online Manual</option>
		<option value="http://www.php.net/">PHP Home Page</option>
		<option value="http://www.php.net/manual/">PHP Online Manual</option>
		<option value="http://www.mysql.com/">MySQL Home Page</option>
		<option value="http://www.mysql.com/documentation/">MySQL Documentation</option>
	</select></td>
</tr>
</form>

Directly under that place:

Code:

<tr class="firstalt">
	<td>PHP Version</td>
	<td><?php echo 'v' . phpversion(); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr class="secondalt">
	<td>MySQL Version</td>
	<td><?php echo 'v' . mysql_get_server_info(); ?></td>
</tr>

Save and reupload, and thats it.

Works with all versions of vBulletin but requires PHP v4.0.5 to display the MySQL server info. If you have that version (which you shouldn't, get 4.1.2 if you can) then just remove the second section of the code. PHP version information will load on all copies of PHP.

Disclamer, if you break it, it's not my fault.
