 Agree - "Your PHP version" is clearer.

 I think I understand what you're after -- if someone is running 5.x,
 that's an emergency and they need to update like last week. If someone's
 running 7.2, they should update and get in the habit of staying that way,
 but they're not going to blow up a server.

 In that case, (Oh could I have fun with this if we weren't being family
 friendly! Think Holy $#!! -- You've gotta update! But I digress.)

 So what do we all think of:

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 Your site is running on the latest version of PHP, which is (%s).

 Your site is running on PHP version (%s), which is a little behind. Please
 update to (%s++) when you can.

 Your site is running on PHP version (%s), which is significantly out of
 date. Please upgrade to the latest version , (%s + i++), as soon as
 possible.

 Your site is running on PHP version (%s), which is dangerously out of
 date. Please upgrade to to the latest version , (%s + i++), immediately or
 risk your site's continued health and security.

 If you don't have access to tools that keep your PHP version up to date,
 please contact your server administrator or your hosting representative.

 >>>>>>>>>>

 Thoughts?
