    How can I independently verify that my hosting provider has updated their PHP services that are used to serve my web site?

    It’s a fairly generic Softaculous/Cpanel based host.

    And, yes, I have sent an email request. Still waiting (and waiting) for a reply.

      You can add a phpinfo file to check the version:

      <?php phpinfo(); ?>

      That should give you the details to check the version running matches the patched versions. Just remove it when your done for maximum obfuscation.
