Topic: which version php and mysql

[ldavies]

2 basic questions from a relative newbie

1) How do I find out what version of mysql and php is on e-smith?

2) How do I find out what version of any software is installed on e-smith?

Try 'rpm -q packagename' or 'rpm -q --info packagename'

Here are the results from SME 6.0.1

# rpm -q php
php-4.1.2-7.3.6es1
# rpm -q mysql
mysql-3.23.56-1.73

The --info gives even more information as shown here for php.

# rpm -q --info php

Summary     : The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
Description :
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also
offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common
use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The
mod_php module enables the Apache Web server to understand and process
the embedded PHP language in Web pages.
