Create a new static page in called...
/app/views/pages/cakeversion.thtml
In that page put the following lines of code...
<?php
$file = file_get_contents('../../VERSION.txt');
pr($file);
?>pr($file);
Now access that page via...
Include that one file in all your apps and you are good to go. Even if the format of the VERSION.txt file changes, as long as the filename does not you are ok. I have only tested the above on *NIX systems, Linux and BSD. And you must be able to access the file_get_contents function for local files. You can possibly just include the file as well. Haven't tried it, but it will proably work and be more portable.

creat a function that checks parameters for a special keyword

That function would be in app_controller.php and in your constructor you just check for the keyword and if it is there call your function.
Your function will then output the contents of the version.txt file to the browser.
I will write something quick and reply back.On 8/9/06, Martin Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

not if you implement it in /app
if you upgrade the cake install it wont blow away your code and when you do a
new project just copy it into the new /app directory :)
of course if they change the format of the VERSION.txt then you might have to
update the code..
