How to know which Laravel version is currently running without composer.json

Question

I have updated my PHP version to 7.2 and changed the Laravel version in the composer.json file to 5.7.*

I then ran composer update in the console and want to make sure that Laravel updated (I didn't see the outcome of the command since I sent the request to my hosting team)

Is there a way to know for sure which version is running?

Check ```composer.lock``` – Adlan Arif Zakaria Sep 04 '19 at 05:47 — Adlan Arif Zakaria, Sep 04 '19 at 05:47
"name": "laravel/framework", "version": "v5.0.35", this? – Robin Sep 04 '19 at 06:03 — Robin, Sep 04 '19 at 06:03

5

1) Using terminal.

php artisan --version or php artisan -V

2) Using in Files go to /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php

3) Using the blade template.

{{ App::VERSION() }}

4) Using composer.json

"require": {
        "php": ">=7.1.3",
        "laravel/framework": "5.6.*",
    }

5) Using route.php file

Route::get('laravel-version', function()
{
    $laravel = app();
    echo "Your Laravel version is ".$laravel::VERSION;
});

Check with url yourdomain.com/laravel-version

Where can i find route.php? – Robin Sep 04 '19 at 06:05
Or should I create it and add it to the root? – Robin Sep 04 '19 at 06:06
And this it seems the laravel version is not 5.7., what did I do wrong in the update process I described? – Robin Sep 04 '19 at 06:07
Yes, you have to add the code of method 5. then you may `yourdomain.com/laravel-version` and it'll show you on browser. – Dilip Hirapara Sep 04 '19 at 06:08
Check SO description to upgrade your version https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52849408/upgrading-laravel-5-4-to-latest-version-5-7 or https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/upgrade – Dilip Hirapara Sep 04 '19 at 06:12

You can View current Laravel version through Blade Templates

First way:

{{ App::VERSION() }}

Second way:

<?php
     echo $app::VERSION;
?>

Also, the Laravel version installed can be checked in the command line:

php artisan --version

This will show you which Laravel version is currently running.
