Checking your PHP version in Joomla

PHP 7 is nowadays the default PHP version used by hosting providers. Unfortunately, many hosting providers use older PHP 7 versions. The recommended version is PHP 7.3 or higher but often older PHP versions are still being used. You can check the versions supported by the PHP project. RO CSVI requires a minimum of PHP 7.1. Checking your PHP version in Joomla is very easy. 

Here is how to check what PHP version your system is really using:

  1. Log in to the back end of your Joomla installation
