 The PHP update nag in the dashboard helps alert users that their site is
 running an insecure version of PHP and instructs them to update to a
 newer, supported version.

 There are a few things missing from this notice, though:
 - What version of PHP is the site actually running?
 - What version should you be running?
 - A link to Site Health for more information.
 - A suggested message a user could use when contacting their hosting
 company.

 Also, the primary call to action for most users to resolve this issue is
 missing: contact your hosting company.

 While hosts can add their own update button by defining the
 `WP_DIRECT_UPDATE_PHP_URL` environment variable or using the
 `wp_direct_php_update_url` filter, the user should be pointed in the
 direction of contacting their host if these are not present.
