AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Display PHP Version is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Support category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 35 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Display PHP Version works
Very lightweight and simple plugin that displays the currently installed PHP/MySQL version in the “At a Glance” admin dashboard widget.
In the latest plugin version you can also view the current MySQL version when hovering over the PHP version text. We chose to implement it this way as you may not need to know the MySQL version as often as the PHP version, and it just adds unnecessary visual noise.
Just hover over the PHP version label to display the installed MySQL version.
Also, on some Windows based servers the returned MySQL version can be displayed with a 5.5.5- prefix which can be a little annoying, so this is removed for convenience.
Please rate this Plugin if you find it useful. It only takes a moment but it’s very much appreciated. 🙂
