During install, Drupal 8 provided a helpful summary page that showed the PHP version as one of the summary items - this is the page that shows you if you don't have a settings.php, if opcache is enabled, etc.

After install, I installed PHP 7 on Mac OSX and modified Apache's httpd.conf:

  • commented out the php5_module inlcude
  • added the php7_module include, and pointed it to the libphp7.so
  • restarted Apache

Terminal confirms that PHP 7 is the current PHP version BUT apparently there are cases where Apache and/or Drupal could "not know" about the new version and still use the old version.

Now that Drupal is installed, I can not return to the helpful page I saw before - Drupal's install script does not permit.

How can I see what PHP version Drupal is actually running? I need exact steps.
