 * Hi
 * I just installed the plugin. It owrks just fine, but I get this error message
   on my admin console:
 * Gmail SMTP plugin requires PHP 5.6 or higher. Please contact your web host to
   update your PHP version.
 * I have PHP 7.0.25 installed.
 * PHP 7.0.20-2~ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Jun 14 2017 05:55:23)(
   NTS )
 * Why is the test for PHP version failing on the plugin?
 * Thanks

 * Hi, Please copy and paste the “Server Info” part of the Gmail SMTP Settings so
   I can take a look.

 * Sorry, my mistake. I had both versions of PHP installed, and my apache was using
   the wrong one.
