Get the Outdated Installations

• Make a file on your web server and add the following code to the file to get the list of outdated installations

<?php

////////Do not remove this code////////
define('SOFTACULOUS', 1);
include('/PATH/TO/SOFTACULOUS/enduser/universal.php');
include('/PATH/TO/SOFTACULOUS/sdk/sdk.php');
////////Do not remove this code////////

// This will list the outdated installations
$array = installations(true);
?>

• /PATH/TO/SOFTACULOUS/ will differ from panel to panel

cPanel : /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/
Direct Admin : /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous/
Plesk, H-Sphere and Interworx : /usr/local/softaculous/

• By executing the above code you will get the list of outdated installations of scripts installed by Softaculous in $array
• The format of the result is explained below:

Array (     
  [USERNAME] => Array         
    (             
       [SCRIPTID] => Array                 
         (                     
           [INSTALLATION_ID] => Array                         
             (                             
               [insid] => INSTALLATION_ID                             
               [sid] => SCRIPTID
