# PHP mismatch?

 * Hi
 * Whilst installing an update to WP (5.1.1) it told me I should consider an update
   to a newer version of PHP.
    My host did this for me and phpinfo.php tells me 
   I now have 7.0.33 I installed your plugin and in the “At a Glance” it stated 
   PHP in 5.4.45
 * Perhaps it’s an incompatibility with the app and 5.1.1 of WP?
    If not, why would
   I get a mismatch? The Dashboard is still telling me to consider the PHP update
   so I suspect the app is correct? Any pointers welcomed.

 * I just tested locally and the correct reported version of PHP was displayed.
 * Not sure why you’re seeing an incorrect value. I’ve not had any other reports
   of this occurring so maybe something with your system. Can you disable other 
   plugins and perhaps revert to a default theme to rule out any incompatibility
   issues?
 * Other than that I can’t think why this is happening.
 * Internally the plugin uses `phpversion()` to get the PHP version that is displayed
   in the dashboard. So if that’s not working then perhaps this needs further testing
   on your server.
