cPanel says PHP 5. server_info says PHP 4. What's up with that?

My cart has been humming along for some time now without problem, a moderately modded 1.3.7.1. When installing the Backup Zencart mod I found an error that a PHP class was not being found (RecursiveIteratorIterator). I checked my cPanel for the host and it shows that the system is using PHP 5, but when I checked from within the Zen admin using system_info.php it says I am using 4.4.9.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Possibly related, there are numerous times in the admin that I will select an item (view a report, etc) and I will get kicked back to the admin login. The page loads fine after logging in. This is not a case of session time out, it can happen immediately after a regular log in. I am guessing this might have something to do with different parts of Zen activating different PHP versions?

Any suggestions for how to get Zen to recognize that I have PHP 5 running on the server more consistently?

Zen Cart is just reporting what PHP is telling it.

You need to sort out the version issue with your hosting company.

With cPanel you do have the ability to run different versions of PHP side-by-side, but one of them will be the main (default) version. It's possible that you chose PHP 4 whilst PHP 5 is the main (default) version.

p.s. You need to upgrade from 1.3.7
