If you are using HostGator, then you will need to update your PHP to the latest version. To update PHP, you can use the following instructions:

1. Log in to your HostGator account.

2. Click on the “Servers” tab.

3. Select your server from the list.

4. On the “Server Details” page, click on the “Software” tab.

5. On the “Software” tab, click on the “Update” button.

6. On the “Update PHP” page, click on the “Install Now” button.

7. On the “Install Now” page, click on the “Install” button.

8. On the “Install” page, click on the “Finish” button.

9. After the PHP update is complete, click on the “Restart” button to restart the server.

PRO TIP: If you are not a technical person, it is best to contact customer support to update your PHP version. HostGator uses a custom control panel which makes it difficult to update PHP without breaking your website.
