To check the PHP version in a Windows hosting environment, you can use either the command line interface (CLI) or the hosting control panel. Here are the steps for each method:

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI):

• Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell application on your Windows computer.
• Type the following command and press Enter: php -v
• The output will display the PHP version number, build date, and other relevant information.

Using the Hosting Control Panel (e.g., Plesk):

• Log in to your hosting control panel, such as Plesk.
• Navigate to the "Websites & Domains" tab or a similar section.
• Look for the "PHP Settings" or a similarly named option.
• The current PHP version being used will be displayed in this section.

If you are using a different hosting control panel, refer to its documentation or contact your hosting provider for specific instructions on how to check the PHP version.
