Getting Version Number of a File

[AndyWatt]

Is there any function in PHP that will extract the version number from a windows .exe file stored on a site?

I'd like to be able to upload a new version of a program to a website and have the site display the version number, without me having to change any code ...

Pretty sure there isnt anything which will do that off the shelf.

filetype() won't
filemtime is mod time
filectime is creation time ...

long list but basically no . (open to being proven wrong here)

unless you write something yourself.

Phooey.

So it looks like I'm going to have to find the offsets of version info in the file then.

Thanks for your rely, KarveR.
