Simple PHP script to get the latest build number from Jenkins.

I've made up a small PHP script to grab the latest build number for a project from Jenkins and print it out. This is useful for things such as an updater built into a plugin to compare build numbers.

Here you go:

PHP:

<?php
$jnksUrl = "http://ci.somesite.org";
$jnksJob = "SomeJobName";

// No configuration required below.
$contents = @file_get_contents($jnksUrl . "/job/" . $jnksJob . "/lastSuccessfulBuild/");
$matches = array();
$match = preg_match('/\<title\>[A-Za-z0-9-_]+ \#([0-9]+) \[Jenkins\]\<\/title\>/i', $contents, $matches);
if ($match == 0) exit;
print $matches[1];
exit;
