How can I find the version of php that is running on a distinct server with distinct domain name? (like www.abc.com) It is not my server, no ftp access for making a php file with this code:

<?php
    echo PHP_VERSION;
?>

This works for me:

curl -I http://websitename.com

Which shows results like this or similar including the PHP version:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 03:40:38 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.19
P3P: CP="NOI ADM DEV PSAi COM NAV OUR OTRo STP IND DEM"
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Set-Cookie: 7b79f6f1623da03a40d003a755f75b3f=87280696a01afebb062b319cacd3a6a9; path=/
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Note that if you receive this message:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

You may need to curl the www version of the website instead i.e.:

curl -I http://www.websitename.com
