2. Now select File Manager.

3. Navigate to the public_html directory, before clicking on New File.

4. Now create a file called phpinfo.php

5. Find the newly created file in your directory list and right-click to bring up a menu.

6. Now select Code Edit.

7. Add these lines, before pressing Save Changes.

<?php
 phpinfo();
 ?>

8. To find your current PHP version open http://yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php in your favourite browser.

NOTE: For security purposes, do not forget to delete the file once you check all the necessary information.
