 * Hey Phil.
    It is right, also you find this requirement information in the readme
   and the plugin page. As hint, php versions smaller 5.4 are not supported, include
   no fixes for security topics. You should switch to a newer maintained version
   of php. If you can’t, ask, ferrule your hoster. Best.

 * I’m running PHP 5.6 but am getting this error message when I try to activate 
   S&R: “This plugin can not be activated because it requires at least PHP version
   5.4.0.”
