   How do I display the latest available version of WordPress with PHP?

   E.g. when WordPress brings out a new version, I want to show it on my website with PHP. Just like in the admin screen of WordPress.
   How do I do this?

   Look at the get_preferred_from_update_core and get_core_updates functions in wp-admin/includes/update.php

   Those functions get used by the "Right Now" dashboard widget via the update_right_now_message function.

   And is possible to display the latest WordPress version on my website?

   The website does not have WordPress. Of course I could do this by hand, but then I have to check versions and edit regularly by hand...

   I suppose you could use the techinque here:
   Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website

   <?php echo 'currently installed wp version is: ' . $wp_version; ?>
