If you are using PhpMyAdmin then go to the home page and at the top you will get the version of PhpMyAdmin along with MySQL version number.
We can easily get the version of MySQL running by using php code. This script assumes that you already established MySQL connection and it is working fine.
We will use one select query command to get the data from running mysql database. Here is the code.
<?Php
////////////////
require "config.php"; // Database Connection
////////////////
include "menu.php";
$result = $dbo->query("SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%version%'");
$i=1;
echo "<table class='t1'><tr>";
while ($row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) {
$m=$i%2;
