用PHP.ini文件覆盖服务器上的PHP版本

Question

I uploaded a Joomla 3.3 website on an Apache server but it showed me a Your host needs to use PHP 5.3.10 or higher to run this version of Joomla! error message. I read that i can change the php version on cPanel -> Software and Services -> PHP configuration. I opened the PHP configuration and it just shows values. So i contacted my Hosting provider, they said the php version is the latest version and that i need to override the php settings using a php.ini file.

1st, if the system is updated as they say it is, should i be seeing that message. 2nd, how can i change the php version to accommodate my joomla website.

Answer 1

Your hosting provider are not using PHP 5.3.10 or higher version of php and due to that you are getting this issues.

You can check your php version by creating the php info page on your site.

Also you can suggest your hosting provider to install multiple php version on your server so that you can use any php version which you want. They can install it with the ntPHPselector plugins, It's free plugins and it's working good.

Answer 2

If they really have the latest version of php then you can try to use AddHandler in your .htaccess file to choose php version.

For example:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php

or

AddHandler x-mapp-php6 .php

Depends on hosting configuration.
