# PHP check fails

 * Just tried installing ZigTweets and it warned that I needed PHP 5.3.0 and so 
   refused to activate. Thing is, I am running my site on PHP 5.4.43 which should
   count as newer than 5.3.0. Or does ZigTweeets require exactly version 5.3.0?

 * The PHP version check is done using the normal WordPress function:
 * if (version_compare(phpversion(), ‘5.3.0’, ‘<‘)) { … }
 * So I think your PHP installation must be reporting its own version wrongly. I
   can think of no other explanation. My development system runs PHP 5.5.14 and 
   the plugin works fine on that.
