Check for Latest Version of PHP

01 Sign in to Azure Management Console.

02 Navigate to App Services blade at https://portal.azure.com/#blade/HubsExtension/BrowseResourceBlade/resourceType/Microsoft.Web%2Fsites.

03 Click on the name of the App Service web application that you want to examine.

04 In the navigation menu, under Settings, select Configuration to access the configuration settings defined for the selected application.

05 On the Configuration panel, select General settings tab to access the application general settings.

06 In the Stack settings section, check the Stack setting value to determine the type of the software stack used by the selected web application. If Stack is set to PHP, check the stack software version available in the PHP version dropdown list. If PHP version does not show the latest version available in the list (for example, 7.3), the selected Azure App Service PHP web application is not configured to use the latest version of PHP software.

07 Repeat steps no. 3 – 6 for each Azure App Service web application available within the current subscription.

08 Repeat steps no. 3 – 7 for other subscriptions created in your Microsoft Azure cloud account.

01 Run webapp list-runtimes command (Windows/macOS/Linux) using custom query filters to list the PHP versions currently supported by Microsoft Azure App Service:

az webapp list-runtimes | grep php

02 The command output should return the supported versions of the PHP software:

"php|5.6",
"php|7.0",
"php|7.1",
"php|7.2",
"php|7.3"

03 Run webapp list command (Windows/macOS/Linux) using custom query filters to list the IDs of all App Service web applications deployed in the current Azure subscription:

az webapp list
	--query '[*].id'

04 The command output should return the requested Azure App Service application IDs:

[
"/subscriptions/1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd/resourceGroups/cloud-shell-storage-westeurope/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/cc-laravel-webapp",
"/subscriptions/1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd/resourceGroups/cloud-shell-storage-westeurope/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/cc-mobile-webapp",
"/subscriptions/1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd/resourceGroups/cloud-shell-storage-westeurope/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/cc-project5-webapp"
]

05 Run webapp config show command (Windows/macOS/Linux) using the ID of the application that you want to examine as identifier parameter and custom query filters to describe the PHP version configured for the selected Azure App Service web application:

az webapp config show
	--ids "/subscriptions/1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd/resourceGroups/cloud-shell-storage-westeurope/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/cc-laravel-webapp"
	--query '{"phpVersion":phpVersion}'

06 The command output should return the PHP software version currently in use:

{
  "phpVersion": "7.1"
}

07 Repeat steps no. 3 – 6 for each Azure App Service web application provisioned in the current subscription.

08 Repeat steps no. 3 – 7 for each subscription created in your Microsoft Azure cloud account.

01 Sign in to Azure Management Console.

03 Run webapp config set command (Windows/macOS/Linux) using the ID of the Azure App Service PHP web application that you want to reconfigure as identifier parameter (see Audit section part I to identify the right application) to enable the latest version of PHP software, as described at step no. 2, for the selected web application:

az webapp config set
	--ids "/subscriptions/1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd/resourceGroups/cloud-shell-storage-westeurope/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/cc-laravel-webapp"
	--php-version "7.3"
