7.x-5.9 PHP version Requirements 5.3.3 or 5.2

[Oquile]

I just upgraded Drush via command line and received an error stating PHP 5.3.3 is required.

As I am running PHP 5.3.2 (Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS) it has thrown this error.

I checked the read me on the Drush 7.x-5.9 release and it says:

• To use Drush from the command line, you'll need a CLI-mode capable PHP binary
  version 5.2 or greater.

I am wondering if there is something wrong with my set up (apart from being old) or is the read me is wrong.

thanks

PHP 5.3.3 became a requirement for Drush 6. I just checked, and the Drush 5 branch and the 5.9 release are both still requiring PHP 5.2. Maybe you upgraded to Drush 6 by mistake?

thanks for the reply greg. I must have installed the wrong version over SSH. I should have checked back here earlier, have made a real mess now.
Thanks, closing.
