api to return whmcs version ?

[adm1n]

Hi,

 

Is there a API method that returns the current version of WHMCS ?

If this is not provided, would future upgrades be API compatible ?

 

 

Thanks,

Why an API method for that? Use mysql query:

 

$table = "tblconfiguration";

$fields = "value";

$where = array("setting"=>"Version");

$result = select_query($table,$fields,$where);

$data = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo $data["value"];

 

Regards,

Marco

Hi,

 

I am trying to make a custom site for a reseller ( not hosted in the same server ) .. and want to check the version, so that I can write the APIs version specific, and in future if WHMCS is updated and API is changed or modified, it does not break but show a custom error.

You can create your own API function to do this by adding a file to the includes/api directory. The filename should match the function name. You can then use the code that Marco provided to lookup the version.
