# Problem with PHP version

 * I get the PHP version error saying WP 3.3.2 requires 5.2.5 and I’m using PHP 
   4.4.9
    However when I check my phpinfo() it states I have PHP Version 5.2.17 (
   which SHOULD be higher). I have Linux hosting (so no, I’m not trying to get it
   running on windows). And I am trying to get it running in a different directory
   than root (might be the problem?). Anyone got an idea?
 * Thank you everyone

 * Depending on your web server setup, you can run different versions of PHP in 
   different places.
 * I don’t get it either. 😉
 * Check with your host and ask them to confirm and/or switch you to the newer PHP
   release.
