Two PHPs

[ShaneG]

Greetings,

I've read that there are two PHPs: a client version for websites, and an admin version for Plesk. Could someone please explain this to me?

I think I'm currently running PHP 5.2.17 - but I would like to upgrade the 'client' version.

Thanks,
Shane.

You can upgrade client's PHP. But note that Plesk doesn’t ship client’s PHP, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with newest version of PHP, then Plesk would run this newest version of PHP for clients.
