It's possible that a system could run more than one version of PHP and Moodle is **not finding** the same version as whatever you are using in HostGator to tell you that.
That's got to be a HostGator technical assistance question ... and only HostGator (or someone who is hosting with them and has had the same experience) could answer for sure. So before you get 'brave' test HostGator support. After all, you are paying them for that, right? ;) Get your monies worth!
