Yeah I've done that which is how I found the problem in the first place.

From what I've been reading it has something to do with .htaccess but I can't find that file anywherewow! how is that even possible?

A multitude of different ways.
I think cpanel even has a UI for it now to do folder-level php versions.
Haven't we had a similar situation before?
You have something on the server that is conditionally overriding the PHP version used specifically in certain directories:

MG 1.1 - Trouble with Watermarks
If I use php 5.4 watermark works, but anything above that php 5.6 or php 7.0 I get errors "Cannot watermark without ImageMagick installed." When I check php info it says Imagick is installed. What's the difference between Imagick and ImageMagick? How can I fix this so I can use php 7.0?

Issue that @Mr Lucky had on one of my servers, as the there were multiple .htaccess and cPanel inserts the PHP handler code into there, so different directories for the same domain can run different PHP versions.Haven't we had a similar situation before?

XF 2.0 - How to update server environment report
I have been using php 7.2 for a couple weeks. My server environment report is still saying 5.6.38 How do I get this to update to show the correct version? Thanks

In my case the confusion was because I had installed a test forum in a sub directory, copied all the main forum files across including .htaccess. So when I upgraded the php on server to 7.2. it did in fact upgrade (and changed the root .htaccess) , but because the .htaccess in the subdirectory still referred to 5.6, then there was a message in the test from saying it was on 5.6, (but was in fact on 7.2)

Add this to the top of .htaccess file in what ever directory you have xf2.1 installed
PHP:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56s .php

You should probably use 7.x (ideally 7.2) if it's available. You'll notice a significant performance boost

Just recommended 7.2 because it's the latest supported by WHM/cPanel. They have said that they're planning on adding 7.3 support to EasyApache this year around the release of cPanel 80:
SOLVED - Release of PHP 7.3 in EasyApache4?
When PHP 7.3 is planning to be included in EasyApache ? PHP 7.3 was official released on 6. December.
Looks like they're targeting around April

Bluehost is currently only offering 7.x beta and have for years that I know of with no idea when they will update their offering.You should probably use 7.x (ideally 7.2) if it's available. You'll notice a significant performance boost

That's... interesting. PHP 7.0 was released in December 2015, and PHP 5.6 is EOL and no longer receiving official security updates as of a few weeks ago. I'd recommend getting onto them about it or moving hosts as that's crazy that they don't support it 3 years later
