 * Hi, I am running PHP version 5.2.45 – for the plugin its required PHP 5.3.0 –
   Any way I can get around this problem??
 * Error I get when installing:
    The plugin “Background Manager” requires PHP version
   5.3.0 or better, but version 5.2.42-servage29 was detected.
 * Many thanks
    Rachel

 * Hello,
 * You will need to upgrade version PHP 5.3 or better. Most web hosting providers
   will allow you to do so with just a few changes in the control panel, a .htaccess
   file or simply contacting their support. More details can be found in the FAQ,
   including some examples of .htaccess files:
