 Hello,
Im just wondering why i keep seeing this even the php most up to date

You are using an obsolete PHP version

Your site is running on PHP 5.3.29 which has stopped receiving security updates since Thursday, 14 August 2014. Using this on a live site is dangerous: unpatched security issues can get your site hacked. Moreover, we will only support obsolete versions of PHP for nine months since their end-of-life date. Therefore we will discontinue support for your PHP version on Thursday, 14 May 2015. We strongly advise you to ask your host to upgrade your site to PHP 5.5 or later.

Thanks

This is most likely caused by an AddHandler command in your .htaccess file that changes your PHP version to 5.3.29 or that is the default version of PHP that your host is using and the AddHandler line that changes to your modern version is missing from the .htaccess file.

Note that if you use .htaccess Maker, it replaces the .htaccess file, it does not add to it or update it. If the AddHander isn't in the Custom fields in .htaccess Maker, it gets overwritten.

ok , Can dont understand all that, but the question how i can fix this issue, any instructions appreciated, thanks

The actual command varies from host to host, so I can't give you that. Ask your host support how to change the PHP version. That is a very common question so the answer may also be in their FAQ screens.

If they tell you it can be done at the account level through the configuration screens, that is the best way.

If they tell you to add a command to the .htaccess file, do that only if you are not using .htaccess Maker in Admin Tools. If you are using .htaccess Maker, just put the same command in one of the two Custom fields in the .htaccess Maker configuration screen and regenerate your .htaccess file.
