My web Host is 1and1.com, and inorder for your site to use php5 instead of php4 you must add a custom line in the .htaccess file in the root of your website.  Simply add the below code to your .htaccess file, and you are good to go.

Code:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Here is my full .htaccess file, so you can see what it looks like.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
