 Okey dokey!

 The thing we want to keep in mind is that there is action we want
 users/admins to take and then stay on top of.

 So while this may feel like an arcane discussion of semantics and style,
 the question is -- what's the language that will keep this fire lit under
 their butts?

 With that in mind I propose:

 Your site is running the current version of PHP (%s).
 Your site is running an outdated version of PHP (%s).
 Your site is running an outdated version of PHP (%s). It should  be
 running the current version (%s++).
 Your site is running an outdated version of PHP (%s). It requires an
 update to the current version (%s++) – please update now.

 /*Or whatever notation we use for the current. I know it's a fantasy that
 some of these are only two increments behind! 😜)*/

 If there were room, I'd be tempted to add a line about performance and
 security, but I doubt we have it in these strings.

 If we wanted to add a tooltip, we could write the strings like this:

 String: Your site is running the current version of PHP (%s)
 Tooltip: (🎉 or equivalent)

 String: Your site is running an outdated version of PHP (%s).
 Tooltip: The current version is (%s++), which will help keep your site
 more secure and make it run faster, too.

 String: Your site is running an outdated version of PHP (%s). It should
 be running the current version (%s++).
 Tooltip: Please update to version (%s++) as soon as you can, for more
 security and a faster site.

 String: Your site is running an outdated version of PHP (%s). It requires
 an update to the current version (%s++) – please update now.
 Tooltip: Version (%s++) addresses several urgent issues. You'll also get
 more security and a faster site.

 Don't get me started on what we could say in a popup. 😜
