<p>It sounds like your server environments are different. It is possible to run different version of PHP on different parts of a server, so it really depends on your setup, but that is surely what is going on here. Without more details about your server I don't think it will be possible to give a more detailed answer. Good luck!</p>

<p>I have the same issue. The Cloud server is running Plesk with multiple PHP versions. Even though the subdomain I install onto is set to PHP 7.2, SSH comes back as though it is PHP 5 - because SSH is ignoring what the domain is, and only looking at what the server is.</p>
