Yes, that does give me the PHP version. Thanks. The get_zend_version function returns a string like 'Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies\n'. It would be nice to be able to get the ZEND_MODULE_API_NO (e.g. 20060613) the standard module was compiled under. I'm still confused about how many versions of extensions I need to provide with my product. Currently I just compile it against late versions of 4, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 and hope for the best. But looking at ZEND_MODULE_API_NO changes in webcvs shows it changes more frequently than that. But so far I haven't ran into major problems with ZEND_MODULE_API_NO so maybe I'm just being paranoid. From looking at zend.c it looks like it will print diagnostic info if some tries to load an incompatible extension.
