# Which PHP Version

 * In the WordPress News, WordPress 3.2 states that it will require PHP version 
   5.2.4.
 * [http://wordpress.org/news/2011/05/wordpress-3-2-beta-1/](http://wordpress.org/news/2011/05/wordpress-3-2-beta-1/)
 * I ran the Health Check plugin and received the following message:
 * Excellent: Your server is running PHP version 5.2.13 and MySQL version 5.0.92
   which will be great for WordPress 3.2 onward.
 * Can someone confirm what the actual minimum requirements are?
 * Thanks!

 * With Health Check 0.2 which I have just downloaded, I’m getting:
    ———————————-
   Warning: Your server is running PHP version 5.2.4. WordPress 3.2 will require
   PHP version 5.2.4.
 * Once your host has upgraded your server you can re-activate the plugin to check
   again.
    ———————————-
 * Now that really doesn’t make sense!
 * phpinfo() gives me 5.2.4

 * Thank you for reporting this.
 * There was a small bug in the plugin whereby it reported a failure if the versions
   on your server matched the required version 🙁
 * This has been fixed in an update v0.2.1 of the plugin which should be available
   for download/upgrade soon.

 * Peter, you are a star! Thanks. I’ll get the updated plugin when it becomes available(
   although I feel quite comfortable that my server meets the new minimum requirements
   anyway!).
