David,

The first thing that I would check is the directory/file permissions on your
web space. If others are posting files there, they must be wide open.

The subject of updating PHP is a little more complex than can be handled in
this forum. You absolutely need to have an ISP that can assist you with
this. In fact, I'm surprised that tou are able to use it at all if the ISP
doesn't support it. How did you install it on the server?

Could you provide a link to the site?

Respectfully,

Steve
