Getting Apache Version Using PHP Alternative

Is there an alternative way to get my Apache version without using the below code?

<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']; ?>

Returns "Apache".

<?php echo apache_get_version(); ?>

Returns "Fatal error: Call to undefined function apache_get_version()".

Note: I am using a Linux server with PHP v5.3.1, and anything returned with a linux-only command via the shell using exec() or shell_exec() would be acceptable. I just want to get it detecting the version of Apache for Linux at least.

you say using exec is fine ?

exec("apache2 -v") will give the output similar to 

Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)
Server built:   Nov 30 2012 08:33:45

using your first command would be best and just makiing apache expose itself a little more

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#ServerTokens

Change the .htaccess or the httpd.conf file to the token you want
