How to know what version of PHP is shipped in a release version?

Is there a page or Wiki listing for each Ubuntu release what is the default associated PHP version?

10.04 LTS => PHP 5.3.2

And so on...


There is the packages.ubuntu.com website. It's pretty handy for this stuff.

Here is the current output:

As of Xenial Xerus the keywords string to search is "php". (the version is PHP7)

This page lists the different versions of php5 in different release of Ubuntu:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) was the first Ubuntu release to ship with PHP 7 instead. So the link changes to:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0
