 * I am very confused. I was using your plugin for quite some time on my site. I
   pulled the ultimate stupid though and deleted my database by accident and didn’t
   have a back up. So as I am rebuilding from the ground floor back up (exactly 
   as it was before) I was re installing your plugin and received the following 
   error message:
 * “Plugin “Testimonials by Aihrus” has been deactivated as it requires PHP 5.3.0
   or newer. You’re running PHP 5.2.17. Once corrected, “Testimonials by Aihrus”
   can be activated. More information.”
 * The problem is that I am actually running PHP version 5.3.27! So, I am not sure
   where this error message is coming from or how to resolve it.

 * Bummer on the database loss.
 * Did you read the FAQ for PHP issues? It’s quite extensive.

 * No I haven’t. To be frank, I am behind the 8 ball. I have tons of projects to
   complete and having to rebuild my site isn’t helping. If it is a time intensive
   issue than I will have to switch to another plugin. I just don’t have enough 
   spare time right now for time intensive adjustments which is why I was rebuilding
   just as it was 🙁 I am still confused by it. Not only because I do in fact have
   the a current PHP version but my site was up and running yesterday with the plugin
   just fine. I am rebuilding exactly as it was, same base theme, same plugins, 
   same host etc. The only difference is an empty database. The problem seems almost
   impossible LOL. I’ve had this plugin on my site successfully for quite some time
   without any issues so this is a disappointment.

 * Given you lost your database, it seems like you lost the website files as well.
   Therefore, you probably forgot you had an .htaccess configuration set to ensure
   PHP 5.3 for the website.
 * Again, please check the PHP 5.3 FAQ entry. It will help you.
