Error - You need PHP v5.2+ to use the s2Member plugin.

hello i have searched the forum for this topic and couldnt find anything. if there is a current info on this can you please post a link - Thank you!
this is the error i get when activating the plugin "You need PHP v5.2+ to use the s2Member plugin.". I was using the plugin on a blog and had no issue. i changed hosting and now after resetting everything up it doesnt work. I even googled and couldnt find an answer. the site is hosted with a vps on network solutions (was previously with network solution shared hosting). everything should be up to date. I did deactivate all plugins and it made no difference..... could there be a problem with changing the sites url from being installed in a sub dir to a root install currently? i backed up everything FTP and then just uploaded everything including wordpress from the back up to the new hosting environment. I deleted the plugin and reinstalled too.
I appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!
