[wp-hackers] How to determine which WordPress version is running ?

[Viper007Bond]

I find this to be best:


global $wp_db_version;
if ( 3664 <= $wp_db_version ) die('Your version is too low.'); // Change the
"3664" to whatever revision you wanna check for


Unlike $wp_version, $wp_db_version is always an integer with no letters
making it the easiest to compare to. You can also go exactly to the revision
number which added the needed function (so that'll it'll work on new beta
builds on 2.1, but not old beta builds).
