Magento: Check Version

Some time you don’t know you are working on which version of magento. So if you want to see the version of magento using code follow below steps.

Step 1 : create one checkversion.php file in root directory of your magento project.

Step 2 : Now copy and paste the below code.

<?php
     include_once('app/Mage.php');
     Mage::app();
     echo Mage::getVersion();
?>

Whenever you include Mage.php you are ready to access all core classes of magento.

The Mage::app() function is used to bootstrap your Magento application (setting up configuration, autoloading etc) and is useful when wanting to access Magento models in your own custom script for example.
