Put this in your root directory:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save it as phpinfo.php and point your browser to it (this could be http://localhost/phpinfo.php)

Hopefully `short_open_tag` is enabled, maybe ` – AbraCadaver Mar 18 '14 at 17:48
the command is more good than creating this file. – Ranjith Siji Jan 01 '18 at 06:04

first you have to need the version of your Xampp

xampp -v

or

xampp --version

Then you can check the php version from xampp website

you can't know it from command line since it's bundled inside the Xampp

-v is better option – 2707974 Mar 18 '14 at 11:09
