Hello

I noticed this Ticket regarding the requirement that AdminTools needs PHP 5.3 and the user assumes that his host only offers PHP 5.2.4

https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/admin-tools/16451-php-version-2.html

Keep in mind that there are often methods of "upgrading" to Php 5.3. Usually a call to your hosting's tech support, or a check of your host's faq will show you how to add a line to your htaccess file or uploading a special .htacess file to below your root will provide the PHp 5.3 you need for AdminTools.

That was my intention when I told that customer to contact its host. However, I know something that you don't: the default PHP version on the previous Debian stable was 5.2.7. His host seems to be running this outdated (~5 years old) and unpatched Linux distribution which means that PHP version is the least of his concerns.
