Verify that you’re actually using php 7 in cli. Do `php -v`. This error suggests php 5.2

Apparently the Mautic is not recognizing the configured version manually via .htaccess, only configured by default on the server and this unfortunately can not change.

The Mautic only validate the PHP version configured by default on the server or can accept manual configuration in .htaccess?

Is there any way to solve this error?
