The version of osCommerce is stored in the completed installation on the server in the file called, application_top.php.
This file is located in your public_html directory (or the directory in which the osCommerce installation was done).
eg.
/public_html/includes/application_top.php
or
/public_html/catalog/includes/application_top.php
To view your current version, you can either locate the file and view it using the konsoleH file manager or you can download the file using your preferred FTP software and view it in a standard text editor like Notepad.
Locating the version of your osCommerce installation:
The version is usually visible in a comment in the header of the file called, application_top.php, and should look similar to the example below:
/*
$Id: application_top.php,v 1.280 2003/07/12 09:38:07 hpdl Exp $
osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions
http://www.oscommerce.com
Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce

*/
In the above example, the installed osCommerce version is, v 1.280. The recommended version that is PHP5 compatible is, v 2.2 RC2a, which can be downloaded from the OsCommerce website.
Note:
The osCommerce installation is provided for your ease of administration. Ongoing maintenance including regular security updates or upgrades to your existing installation remain your responsibility.
Hetzner does not accept liability should your installation be compromised due to the version of osCommerce installed.
