 * Could someone give me an explanation of how I would update my version of PHP?
   I have some understanding of coding, but none of PHP and how I can update it.
   Any help would be really appreciated. 🙂
 * Thanks!

 * What exactly do you mean by “update my version of PHP”?
 * Generally you’ll need to contact your host for that. i.e. if your host is running
   PHP 5.0 but you need PHP 5.3 they’ll need to make that change on the server –
   it’s not something you can do yourself.
 * If you mean that your hosting account is set with PHP 4.x but you need 5.x your
   host often provides a way to switch over to PHP 5.x, but it varies from host-
   to-host. Best to check your host’s support files, or contact them directly for
   help.
