[Hidden-tech] Strange WordPress error

[Jeff Brand]

Quick follow-up:

The PHP version check was added  between version 3.1.4 and 3.2 of the 
backup plugin.

If you have control over the PHP version used to run your site, I highly 
recommend moving to at least 5.3, though 5.4 would be better. If not 
today, this is something that should be done in the near future.

Before doing so, you may need to evaluate what non-WordPress software is 
running and/or the compatibility of your current plugins with newer 
versions of PHP. This shouldn't be a big deal if they were written to 
use WordPress' helper functions.

In general, the jump to 5.4 is pretty safe.
