First off, try double checking your version info with
just incase the php info is giving faulty info.
Assuming it's not and you're still on 6.06, the next thing to do is to check the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make sure that you're booting off the right kernel image. When Ubuntu upgrades, it installs a new image, and changes the grub configuration so that it should boot into the new system, but it's possible that it didn't make that change properly, so you're still booting into the old.
To check, open that file, and look for a line near the top with "default" followed by a number. Then scroll down and look for the section past "## ## End Default Options ##". It should have a few entries that start with things like:
Look for the one with Ubuntu 6.10, and count how many it is from the top (numbering starts at 0). If that number isn't the same as the default one, change it to that and reboot. If there are only entries for 6.06, then your upgrade failed.
From a brief google, it looks like upgrading isn't always as straightforward going from 6.06->6.10 as it was for later versions. You may need to change your sources file.

Your last ditch effort may have to be downloading a newer version and installing from scratch, but I think if you spend some time googling you can avoid that. The good news is that I can confirm that going from 6.10 and up, the upgrades are hassle free - I've done them myself recently, but I started with 6.10, so didn't have to deal with the 6.06 eccentricities.
Good luck, hope it works out.
