I'm having an issue with a component on the server which works great locally. I have a feeling it's because of the PHP version.

When I use CPANEL on my server, it tells me that php 5.2.12 is being used BUT the info section of Joomla reports version 4.4.9 !?!?!?!

1. how can this be?
2. How can I tell Joomla to use the 5.5.12?

Thanks,
